Music

these songs all made my mind go WHAT IS THAT on the first listen.

How/why? I think all criteria have to be there:

- distictive voice
- novel musicality (grunge guitar, vocal slide, trumpets where they don't belong, etc.)
- an extreme subject matter
- listener is age 14-25, or, going through something

Contrast with someone like Bruno Mars, who has all the vocal tools, the catchiest hooks, and I listen to over and over
probaby 100x anyone on this list, yet I consider to be derivative and merely enjoyable.
