«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato


He know better than me. He is a musician and i am not.  I dont listen contemporary lyrics anyway, they are not all bad for sure, but what is good enough  is few waves in an ocean of bad to worst...

I will never dare to claim it because i am old, not a musician anyway,  i listen classical old music and world music and Jazz...

And old very old lyrics from Franco-Flemish school to Léo Ferré and to the genius  Bob Dylan Dylan...

Just write what you think about Beato informed opinion...

I like him because he spoke bluntly and is enthusiast musician ...

The only reason anyone would say today's song lyrics are bad is because they are not aware of all the great music being currently created. 

@noromance + 1; what an absurd generalization. not a Rick Beato fan here; his opinion is worth no more than anybody else's. 

I like Beato but he's living in a bubble. There are excellent lyrics being written today. He focuses strictly on the most commercial,  corporate music because, apparently, he has no interest in learning about what else is available. As a fellow baby-boomer, I find his seemingly willful ignorance embarrassing and frustrating.

The song that he plays at the start - not a genre I listen to. But I think not all music made today have such lyrics. Some are really good songs. The problem with today's music (any genre or language or culture, etc), is that it does not have the "staying power". There are some songs that my teenagers (and before their preteen years) had made me listen. Some I liked, some I did not care. But these songs are something I can go back and play and feel like grooving to it.

So yes, there are a lot of junk songs being created today, but there are some real great music being created today. Just have an open mind and a youthful attitude; age does not matter.
