^ I'd like to see those. They sound fun.

My pet peeve is when singers intentionally break Standard American English grammar rules such as by singing "was" instead of "were" or by using double negatives incorrectly...for example, "I don't have no [insert word]." I also don't like songs that use "ain't."

I suspect such singers are trying to sound cool or hip and "part of the masses," but the anti-intellectualism pisses me off. I especially find it annoying when a singer speaks using Standard American English but then sings using African American Vernacular English. GAA!

^ Summarizing, I generally don't like songs that use African American Vernacular English (AAVE)
African American Vernacular English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

(Ironically, I just read that the words "cool" and "hip," which I used in my post, are both slang words contributed to Standard American English by African American Vernacular English, so I guess I don't dislike *all* AAVE. )

You beat me to it but I would have used a gif instead

I considered it, but that gif is played out and the kid is ugly.
