What is this new style of music I'm hearing all over the place?
All it consists of is a bass drum, hand claps, and really soft singing.
It's everywhere I go now! I'm hearing it everywhere all of a sudden. It's all over MTV & VH1. The music videos consist of girls gyrating in very unnatural ways. Like they're zombies on speed having convulsions.
Damn, I officially feel old now. I just don't get it! Now I know how my parents must've felt when I was bringing home KISS & Venom records.
What is this style of music called? Is there anyway to put a stop to it?

It's an extension of rap, but not rap, because it is actually singing. It's really bad! Very soft. "Gay" for a lack of a better term.
And it's definitely more than one band. It's a whole style. I've seen several videos of this stuff, and I do NOT watch MTV & VH1 regularly, but they've been playing this stuff so often, I could've help but notice it. I was at Bennegans a month ago and it was all they played over the speakers. It has to have a name! It's all over the place! Maybe I should move...

Is this that music I always hear blaring out of every "riced-up" Honda Accord with boys-peeing stickers in the back windows that always sounds like weird circus drum "riddims?"

No...R&B has been replaced by new R&B, which has the male singer sounding like a 10 year old girl. -> Ray J, T-Pain, Frankie J and other girly sounding "men". Guys...grow a sack and use your voice. I hate all of them in that group. They're on XM alllllll theeeeeeee tiiiiiiime.

To be fair, although they had a few decent songs and were the inventors of black metal, Venom was rather silly themselves.
