As a big fan of all styles of music, I must admit that recently, perhaps over the last ten years, some rock music lyrics have taken a turn towards being more cynical and insulting. Some rap on the other hand, seems to be attempting to promote an attitude of racial segregation and sexism. The whole 'teen angst' ,'I'm depressed', 'I've got it so hard' thing has gotten tired and has me bored out of my mind, and this girl is not about to 'back that thing up'. It's turned me towards music without lyrics altogether. The thing is, the music heard on radio is a force fed 'product' more than likely on the air thanks to high stakes payola from a record company executive. The bottom line today is not based upon how capable or talented a musicain is, but how shocking or how much sex appeal a performer has. The problem is that music is produced to be seen, and hearing music has become secondary function. Thanks MTV.
