That's because, up to the 1970s, people sang with big, natural, full voices. This was true in country, in pop, in blues/soul, even in opera. From there, we see a gradual shift toward people trying harder and harder to emulate the sound of whiny teenagers. Homelanders have made this even worse, to the point where it's considered trendy to play up awkwardness and almost take pride in one's inability to hold normal, adult conversation.
No, the sound of choice is reedy, not infantile. It's singing and breathing at the same time, and intended to sound plaintiff. Rememeber, we live in a time that has everyone on the couch, because we're all so stressed and mentally challenged. Personally, it's OK on some songs and irritating on others.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
