Why Are Most Pop Songs About Love and Sex?

[beenherebeforeagain]

Pop music isn't really meant to be listened to, it's meant to be danced to. Love and sex are universal enough, and therefore non-threatening enough, that dancing to them is usually easy without having one's core thoroughly shaken.

...key word, usually.



(Emphasis mine).

What, you're saying you can't dance to Beat It?

personally, I prefer this version

Sometimes, I wonder if it just has a catchy beat, and then when you stop to listen the lyrics you're like...woah. lol
I listen to all genres (even the hip hop/pop nonsense), but sometimes music with no words at all, is the best!

Country music is funny. It's all about love and/or breaking up and missing the person.

I enjoy Christian pop music, not all but some...as it is a message that resonates with me, and there are some truly talented artists out there promoting a positive message about faith.

I think current country has mostly become a version of pop music...as is a lot of what I hear on the Christian stations...but I got to admit, I do like some of both. I prefer a less "produced" sound most of the time.

Alternatively,
listen to Pink Floyd.

Probably one of the worst gigs I ever attended; the Wish You Were Here tour, I don't think they played a noted different from the albums. I could have stayed home and listened on my stereo.

Oh, I like Sugar Man, loved the film/documentary.

Off to see Fat White Family at the end of the month...

I think because morals have deteriorated so much these days.

Sorry, it's just my opinion.

 

[vaguelyhumanoid]

Because those themes are both intensely emotional and very, very broad in their appeal.

Anyways, here's a pop song about nuclear warfare:
