loving how our culture still romanticizes substance abuse in music just as most of it glamorizes toxic relationships

can we stop reducing all music to a simplistic "glamorizes" vs "anti" narrative? aren't most songs just honest depictions of human struggles?

Honest depiction of human struggles? Nah, that's just what they say when they can't write a decent hook. Bring back the catchy tunes and leave the deep stuff to the poetry slams!
completely agree, but let's also acknowledge that some songs (and artists) do have a responsibility to consider the impact their lyrics may have on vulnerable audiences
nah, music does influence people whether artists intend it or not. some songs glorify unhealthy behaviors and we shouldnt just ignore that.
no, some songs are actively horrifying. especially those that revel in capitalist excess and romanticize toxic relationships. get a grip.
