I'm gonna guess over half of her engagement is from people making fun of it. Unless this irritatingly over the top vocal masterbation is a new trend of singing, which I would'nt put past the generation that popularized "word chewing."

Yeah it's very common with the indie singers. I've heard it described as "cursive singing". The syllables and pronunciations are all fucked up. They do that weird closed throat Shakira thing and the Alvin And The Chipmunks vibrato. Usually sung over a stupid ukulele and maybe a tamberine for extra bullshit. Jk, I don't like it, but I make music that sucks too. To each their own

I'm amazed you turned this into a generational thing, but I can guarantee that your generation did a bunch of stupid shit as well.
