Like Jazz, Electronic music is a very broad umbrella term. Don't expect everything labeled as "electronic" to sound the same or even remotely similar.

Case and point:

Ha I've heard that Daft Punk before and I love it. Even if the auto tuning is ridiculous.

Nothing wrong with auto-tuning, unless adding distortion to a guitar is sacrilege too...

And with that being said.

He's definitely a funny dude.

I agree. I probably wouldn't listen to him even without auto tune, but he might actually possibly have some decent music. And the video's hilarious

Nah, he may have a sense of humor but a funny guy does not a good song make. Look at Justin Timberlake, he's one of the funniest guys in music, but his music is just crap. All T-Pain has is the gimmicks; same reason he wears the damn hat.

I actually kind of dig it...

You are so much cooler to me now.

edit: even if you still hate me.
