One variant of this I encounter is driving in the rain. I moved to SoCal from NY, and everyone here freaks out when it so much as drizzles, and there is always insane traffic due to accidents upon any precipitation…
Not sure if this is a trope per se, but I love when sounds don’t sound “perfect” - the producer kept in a little vocal waver, or the snare isn’t hit with the exact same intensity every time. The little imperfections make it feel/sound like real humans are playing the music!
