Is any professional music out of key?

Chords, scales, harmony, melody, etc.

If making music is your hobby and you seriously answer this with "yes", I'd urge you pretty please to get off the stage to make room for others and find another talent to develop further.

I'd imagine that if I were born after 1997 (Autotune's birth) and only listened to purely electronic/processed music, I'd find acoustic and analog instruments to be horribly out of tune. Gotta be a bit of a culture shock!

One's general impression of that with no sign of it being satirical or facetious is how utterly f**king clueless

This doesn't clarify what you meant by "in key".
pretty sure they don't know, themselves

"In key" supposes a tonal center. Drums in key, ie., <this drum kit here is in 'G Major'>, yeah, no.

Intriguingly off...
Will probably create a new genre...

All music is in tune with universe. You gotta get in touch with the cosmos. Know what i mean man? :drunk:

Weezer goes out of tune on purpose sometimes.

Nice dissonance
Doing nothing is only fun when you have something you are supposed to do.

Classic from my youth ^. That was how I met Bowie. I do not think there is a tune on this record I do not love. I was lucky because I few other of my schoolmates first met Bowie at "Let's Dance" :o :cry:

Yeah...and the singer does not even have to be in front compared to the out-of-intonation-key-tune or whatever stuff the OP questions, but thereabout

You are most welcome. A classic from my youth once again. At a time where goth was a broader and more guitar driven category than today; The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cult etc. The Cranes became known because of Alison´s child-like ghostly vocal. You gotta go Dead Can Dance to hit the spirit of Goth as precisely as that.

Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
