There used to be a time when popular music told a story. When you heard a song come on the radio, you could be transported to a place that was beloved and good, where emotions welled forth from a bottomless well and nothing was impossible. Whether the song was something simple and silly, like "Yellow Submarine" and "Brand New Key", or if it was meaningful and romantic like "When I Fall In Love" and As Long As I Live", songs had a deepness and a glow that has vanished in popular music today.
While one can find powerful songs on occasion through the various sub genres and obscure artists, nothing that the radio stations play today holds the kernel of truth that was present in the songs of years past. Instead, today's music is about slutty dancing, money, sex, drugs, and the various combinations thereof. I don't care about how gangsta you think you are, and I don't care about how you waste money on things which are of no benefit to the rest of humanity.
