Music is the one of the important things in my life. As you can understand I like it a lot. I am a music lover, by the way. You can find the different genres of music in my playlist.
I can't say that it is worse than many years ago. Before the songs existed to maintain the spirit, to tell about the past or give a talk about hardworking people's life.
Lots of popular songs are not consisted with those topics, at present. Many singers sing about as they proud of themselves. Listeners represent that the lyrics about themselves. I think there is no need for instant meaning in songs. Rhythm and melody are main components of song.
