14. My Dislike of Dubstep

First thing's first, WHERE ARE THE WORDS. Oxford dictionary defines a song as "a short poem or other set of words set to music or meant to be sung." Therefore, using this reasoning, dubstep "songs" are not songs! The rapid growing popularity of this type of music continues to annoy me as more and more pop songs integrate aspects of dubstep.

Songs such as "We Found Love" and "Sexy and I Know It" are half dubstep and more and more songs are continue to do the same. The main reason I find this genre of music so annoying goes back to my first point. Why aren't there any words? I just find it... unfair that some artists go through the process of actually writing a song and then putting it to music while other artists can take a big shortcut and just hire people to put music in the place of words. Many have said that the quality of the music industry is not what it used to be, and I agree. I'll admit that the type of music I like (pop) isn't of the highest quality either, but in my opinion, songs that lack words are far worse. 

My dad plays a lot of oldies music in the car when we drive around so I've gotten to know some older songs. These were songs that had lyrics that were full of meaning and songs that are still remembered several decades after they first came out. Compare this to the newer songs nowadays. We don't necessarily listen to songs from say five or so ago anymore and sometimes we forget them altogether. Songs these days are far less meaningful compared to songs from twenty or thirty years ago. I can deal with the quality of lyrics slowly worsening, but to get rid of lyrics altogether? Now that's just crossing the line.
