Why are so many songs about love/romance these days?

Why? I don't get it, surely there's many other topics to sing about as well?

It appeals to a mass market because it's the one thing that pretty much everybody understands and gets emotional about.
There are other topics to sing about, but most of them will alienate the section of the market who have no interest in that topic.

I actually felt a little silly writing a love song to put in the album I'm working on, for this reason. But it fit - I'm doing something of a concept album about how other people make us who we are, kind of like The Wall but from a different perspective, and there is someone in my life who makes the love song relevant. But the fact that there is such a profound number of them around made me stop and put some actual thought into writing it.

The conditions that created Thom Yorke, Jarvis Cocker, Richard Ashcroft, no longer exist to that extent. Where you'd have isolated geniuses feeling both at odds with yet also invigorated by the enterprise nature of the pre-internet materialist age.

Nowadays if you feel isolated it's made out to be less a case of 'your time will come' and more a case of 'the time is NOW! What are you doing moping around?'

No-one talented is allowed to set their own agenda anymore for when theyll come in to the limelight. Because if they leave it too late then people will move on to someone else within a few minutes. The internet makes it all so easy to ignore people and just treat life as a series of products that flash before your eyes or ears. leaving nothing but the smallest imprint on you.

And so music becomes inconsequential- and so does life. I know that life was richer in the 80s and 90s.
