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.
