I think its more an attempt to engage the crowd but ok

On a rap project I hate when the artist has an interlude of him F*cking some chick and you can hear her moaning. It just makes the moment feel so awkward.

I think nearly every song does that. After the chorus and maybe the second verse you'll find so many songs that go up an octave. It is annoying but it happens so much now I think it's almost expected.

If you mean a song lifting an entire section wholesale and just transposing it up, then yeah, that's hackneyed BS. Music would be pretty boring as a whole though without any key changes at all.

I hate this so much. It's all over the new Spoon album. Did you guys forget how to end songs?! Pushing the levels slowly down to zero is not closure!

That's called modulation. When done well it can work but some bands fall back on it as a gimmick.

Spinal Tap did a song where they did a bunch of modulations to poke fun at the practice.
