I see most people as people to stay away from today

If you met an asshole in the morning, you met an asshole. If you meet assholes all day, you're the asshole.

Call me a conspiracy theorist ... but I would argue that people still want something deep and meaningful. The media just realises that tapping into our reptilian brain is easier and sells more products.

Writing deep and meaningful poetry is hard. Writing about partying and casual sex is easy.

It's a soulless industry. If you don't like it you can set an example to people by ignoring and avoiding it. Stop listening to the radio. Stop buying the products.

Ed Sheeran is one of the most popular artists today. 95% of the songs he writes are the loviest love songs ever. Love songs have not gone out of style. Popular music has been about sex, drugs and partying for decades. Have you ever heard of Led Zeppelin? AC/DC? Kiss?

Mhm... Wildest dreams is on my play list. As is thousand years... Seriously though, there are some songs by most men aren't singing them.

I blame the rap culture that infested the airwaves in the 2000s.

Idk how you can blame the 2000s rap culture - which was, quite frankly pretty tame compared to the genre in the 10-15yrs prior. Not to mention, at the same time R&B - which still leaned heavily towards "romance" and "love" was getting equal amounts of airplay. Like I really don't think Nate Dogg having hoes in different area codes in the 2000s is why love seems to have fallen out of fashion today...

Rise of hip hop? I think.

Country is still very love song-y

Most women are whores now and want to listen to songs about either being whores, or being treated like whores. And men are learning to go with this.

Even the concept of "dating" is seen as icky now by most young women. Treat her like the cum dumpster she is or GTFO. Romance is dead.
