Certainly the novelty was the draw for those who had.

This could be due to the instinctive love a certain demographic has for R&B or hip-hop only when it's recontextualized and stripped down, but an audience who'd never heard T-Pain probably just saw an enchanting soul singer. 'Buy U a Drank' unplugged turned out to be a smash with NPR listeners. Last year, T-Pain recorded the most popular Tiny Desk Concert in NPR history, accompanied by a lone keyboard player and joking that his Auto-Tune had been surgically inserted. Sometimes it's just a little concealer, sometimes it's neon pink fake lashes, and if it's going to be noticeable, might as well go big. The creator of Auto-Tune has been quoted as comparing it to cosmetics, appropriately. It resembles nothing so much as a strip club customer who goes on a tirade about how much he dislikes surgically augmented bodies even though he would not for one second stand for a woman who decided to leave her body hair in its authentic state. When it comes to popular music, an art form whose entire existence depends on the unanticipated applications of new technologies, drawing the line at a particular effect is a mental feat. He used it to screw it up and make it do what the human voice technically could not. T-Pain never used the device to make his voice sound unrealistically perfect. T-Pain is at least partly responsible for both 808s and Heartbreak and The Blueprint 3, one of which used a lot of Auto-Tune and one of which called for its death. In addition to being at the edge of a trend in subject matter, T-Pain's use of Auto-Tune marked/caused a huge increase in the program's use and an accompanying backlash against it, uniting Jay Z and Death Cab for Cutie in their public stands against vocal processing. The songs that history will record as the last butt rock stripper anthems came forth shortly thereafter in a death rattle of trying-to: Buckcherry's 'Crazy Bitch' (2005), Kid Rock's 'So Hott' (2007), and Nickelback's 'Shakin' Hands' (2008). The strip club anthems of the 1980s- 'Cherry Pie', 'Pour Some Sugar on Me', 'Girls, Girls, Girls'-and the nu-metal of the '90s were fading memories.

After 2005, rock radio continued to dwindle into a niche market.
