Comment on Song lyrics have become simpler and more repetitive over the last five decades

Comments

The songs that algorithms push on social media and that Major record labels are promoting are more simple... There are plenty of independent works out there that have great complexity and depth to them, but now that the Internet is firewalled, most people don't see the deeper and more talented works out there.

Independent artists are working furiously just to be heard, but now that payola is the ruling model for music, it's become really hard to find better music.

Until the dominance of large companies controlling visibility of what the public sees changes, we'll be stuck in the dark ages for good music. It's a shame.
