Everyone's got different taste in music. Music can even be a bit of a touchy subject; there's something about it that is just very personal... or rather CAN be very personal.
scream BUT WHAT THE s**t IS THIS s**t?

Really? I mean... come on, really? Like I said before, everyone has different taste in music but these s**t examples I've provided here are utter trash. The music industry is often blamed for being oversexed and being a possible negative influence to youth but I've just given you a taste (pun intended) of the material that's (I hope) not played on radio. This really is the crap that kids and teens are listening to today.
I know rants about quality have been done before but... gonk C'mon this is just dumb. No one's saying quality music has to be boring classical tunes that barely have a melody, or opera (neither of which are necessarily bad, but people think they're bad simply because they aren't popular), but popular music does NOT have to be this bad. I remember popular songs from the 90's and the vast majority weren't this vulgar. There's nothing insightful, intelligent, or beautiful to the lyrics. These songs don't even have melodies, they're just a bunch of beats backed up by the shitty talking (I will not call that singing).
Damn... I feel a bit of a fool getting this worked up over it but geeeeeeeebus...
edit: By the way, I think this is more the decade of 15 minute bands and groups. I wish long lasting solo artists would be big again.

Lmao, that is some of the most blatantly sexual music I've ever heard. xd But only some. Last year, I worked with a guy who insisted on having the radio tuned to a hiphop station all day, and the lyrics for around 70% of all the "songs" were as bad or almost as bad; they were just mostly male artists. And close to 80% of the "songs" were ripped from older, better songs. They call it "sampling," but most of it is just obvious stealing.
It does seem like people in the industry don't try as hard as they used to. But I wonder if it only seems like that because there are so many more singers and bands now than there used to be. You know, like with crime rates: when the population rises, the crime rate rises, not because half the neighborhood has gone bad, but because there are more people and therefore more criminals.
Most music lyrics throughout history haven't been particularly insightful, intelligent, or beautiful. They're just not usually quite so vulgar, as you say. It is harder nowadays to sift through the crap simply because there's so much more of it. My music tastes are all over the board, too. My collection includes everything from Green Day to the Beatles. But most of it isn't exactly Shakespeare if you listen to it. It's just not low-brow sextalk. I could quote half a dozen older songs right now that have utterly senseless lyrics, but they're still considered good music.
People like music that speaks to them personally. And believe it or not, some people do talk like those videos in their everyday lives. I've known two of them. xp I don't care for it personally, but I'm willing to bet somebody does. I'll agree that it's hard to call it "music," since it's "just a bunch of beats backed up by the shitty talking." But I could use that line to describe more than half the rap "songs" I've ever heard. That's nothing new.
I always listen to lyrics. But there are some songs I like because of the music alone, and I think the lyrics are dumb. And vice verse. But I'm a wordsy person. Some people just want something tribal pumping in the background of their lives. 3nodding
