We measured pop music’s falsetto obsession

It’s nearly impossible to turn on the radio and not hear a male artist singing really high. Likely he’s a tenor, and more often than not he’ll sing in falsetto. Think Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, Drake, Charlie Puth, Shawn Mendes, Adam Lavine, Sam Smith ... the list goes on and on and on

My friend calls it fuckboy falsetto and it’s very true
Sometimes it works but most of the time I feel like it’s fuckboys using it to try and convey sensitivity

The only falsetto I give a single fuck about rn

I do like songs from some of the ppl they mention, obviously, but a lot of them are so bad!

His voice is so good. Epic III in particular does it for me. I don't dislike Reeve Carney's voice, but Damon is definitely the better singer.

aw man, I love it when people look at data like that. Though I myself prefer qualitative research.

Prince and Jordan knight are the only ones that quickly pop into my mind. Justin bieber? Never really thought about him being one. A falsetto should sound smooth not like someone just got wacked in the balls.
