that thing rappers use nowadays that makes you sound like a robot going through puberty. first developed for the mining industry as a way to find oil wells fossils coal and metal deposits underground it was later introduced to music by cher in her song "believe". it was made popular during the boy band phenomenon especially by N*sync I guess they figured if they couldn't make them genuinely sound good that a robot gargling was almost as good.

To fix a wannabe's voice. Someone who can't sing to save their lives but do it anyways and make it catchy. It is taking over the musical world. Some singers who use it are Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Jason Derulo, Korean groups like T-Ara, too many to count.
Damn! That was some serious usage of autotune!

Someone who uses autotune to create a song. Frequently used by "rappers" but really shouldn't be rappers but should be known as a new genre called "Autotune"
Someone: "Did you hear T-Pain's new Rap CD?"
Someone else: "He isn't a rapper...Rappers bust flows and spit words to a beat, T-Pain is a singer that overuses autotune."

You are all so bias with these definitions.

Auto-Tune is a proprietary audio processor created by Antares Audio Technologies. Auto-Tune uses a phase vocoder to correct pitch in vocal and instrumental performances. It is used to disguise off-key inaccuracies and mistakes, and has allowed singers to perform apparently perfectly tuned vocal tracks without needing to sing in tune.

Almost every artist you've listened to uses this.
Practically every artist you like uses this.

But of course, most stupid people only point out auto-tuning as a negative thing for singers they dislike, whilst ignoring that the singers they like are equally as auto-tuned.
Person 1: Hey, did you hear that new Ke$ha song?
Person 2: Nah man shes autotuned leik fuk
*Person 2 later listens to equally autotuned singer but doesn't complain about it*
