Indie Girl Voice

[tree_]

I didn't know this was a thing until I got frustrated and searched the internet. It's such a weird phenomenon and it's everywhere these days.

This poor girl doesn't even know what she's doing, but it's a perfect example:



Were you aware of this? What singers or moments in song can you list as examples of this weird, annoying style?

VanderWaal Crybaby Geeks

I hate this style. There is a commercial, can't remember what for, but the song playing in it has a girl singing "hush, hush baby" but it sounds like "housh housh"

Ruddo, remember Pomplamoose?

[E.H. Ruddock]

Ruddo, remember Pamplemousse?

Yes. What was wrong with me

[Strat]

Its like the new 90's eddie vedder bullshit.

Yarl vs. Indie Girl Voice!

I've been trying to figure out if Dave Matthews has Indie Girl Voice..

[The Argonaut]

The real crime in that video is the people trying to clap along. Clapping along should be illegal

I like that kid and her song

Sure it's fine and pretty, KT, but don't you see how she's mimicking a popular "tug-on-heart-strings", I'm a cute little baby style and that there is ZERO originality in it?

i queued up an "indie christmas" spotify playlist over the holiday and shut it off because of this i think

Yeah man I didn't even know what this was but felt something was off for a long time now and had to google it.. I think I liked this style a lot for a while but once I caught on that it was more like a widespread virus I had to shun it. It's terrible and needs to stop. It's like vocal fry and Valley Girl.

[The Argonaut]

This criticism is just another way for the patriarchy to assert control

I guess this is the girlfriend (or at least longtime crush) of the Pop Punk Boy Voice

What IS original then?

In a way, nobody's voice is truly original. But there's a point where you can clearly say, "Oh, OK, you're doing THAT voice..." yawn
