Re: why do you like the music you like?
Total music person. To me, the voice is just another instrument. And I'll admire the vocals just for the melody or rhythm of the lyrics, as opposed to the actual lyrics themselves.
That said, sometimes lyrics are meant to shock and I do notice them sometimes.
E.g., Husker Du's Diane:
Hey little girl, wanna go for a ride?
Ther's room in my wagon its park right outside
We could cruise down robert street all night long
But i think i'll just rape you, and kill you instead
Diane, diane, diane
I heard there's a party down at lake cove
It would be so much easier if i drove
We could check it out, we could go and see
Oh won't you come and take a ride with me
We could lay in the weeds for a little while
I'll put your clothes in a nice, neat little pile
You're the cutest girl i've ever seen in my life
It's all over now, and with my knife
