It looks like contemporary music has become more about beats and less about what the lyrics are saying. Fans now bother about dancing to the beats as it is what makes them happier. This makes me wonder whether music is now about beats and less about lyrics. I mean, do you believe lyrics are still important?
Definitely, I do care about lyrics when I listen to most songs. As one who is always keen to enjoy more rap songs, the lyrics are what make it fun for me. I am not saying that beats ain't a great factor when it comes to making music, but the lyrics are an integral part of what makes songs worth listening to.
We listen to beats more than the lyrics nowadays. I do bother about lyrics when I'm listening to music because it will help me to know what I'm listening and what the song is all about. I do search about the lyrics of music if I wanted to join in singing the song.
