THANK GOD FOR NEW RESEARCH

New research has revealed that pop music lyrics really have been dumbed down over the last 40 years.

(Thanks to Barry Nester and Al Barkafski, who says "For this we needed a study?")

In our day, when we sang "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow" it meant something.

How is that even possible ?

‘Additionally, all genres showed an increase in the use of anger-related words.’

Is that the lyrics, or the reactions of people listening to that crap?

[wiredog]

Yeah, it meant "I'm stoned out of my gourd, and may possibly have ingested something that came on blotter paper, and have you ever, like, looked at your hands?"

Oo-ee, oo-ow-ow, ting, tang, walla-walla bing bang, ou-ee, oo-ow-ow, ting-tang, wlla-walla, bing-bang!

That's it for me, I no longer seek to land on Earth to get a job ina rock&roll band.

You just can't compare modern music to classics likes "Monster Mash"!

Well, I nearly gave up interest including ever listening to music again when this instrument was heard front and center in every song played on the FM radio.

Poets like Mungo Jerry are a once in a millenium happening.

In yet *another* study, research has revealed that researchers have been dumbed down over the past 40 years.

This is why I am constantly having people aged thirties to seventies compliment me on my T-shirt, which reads:

"It is NOT because I'm old -
Your music really does SUCK"

Hey, my generation worked very hard to get things to this point - it took a lot of hard work to do this. You can't just not recognize hard work. Some of these people went to the finest reform schools their parent's money could buy, and those who did not graduate were given a chance to go back and get their diploma. So back off.
