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.

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."

The listener's expectation that hit tunes be redundant with catchy phrases based on musical melodies that stick in your head.
