Zero Audio Ugh. Jesus Christ. Slip my throat now.

With pleasure.

Acapella music can be terrible.

Mm-hmm.

Those drawn to Acapella are not troubled visionaries fueling their art with an acute awareness of the dark absurdity of existence.

There are no Kurt Cobaines or David Bowie's or Kenny Loginses in the Acapella universe.

It doesn't take conscience changing pathos

or a sharp satirical mind to give it a go with no instruments.

No.

Those driven to Acapella are nice-looking preppies who gather a bunch of unremarkably good singers and try to blow our minds with their impressions of instruments.

Most Archapelists are university fancies hoping the little college singing

troop can break through to the level of a acapella power player.

And oh, how that next level has exploded.

Thanks to the movie Pitch Perfect, the TV show Glee,

and the website YouTube.com.

Acapella covers of popular hits are everywhere.

And most of them make you cringe.

Man, these are so bad.

Listen to this, by one of the turdiest acapella groups out there,

VOCA people.

They're doing a melody of movie themes.

They throw jokes in, this is terrible.
