How much do lyrics matter in music?
I'm not saying singing doesn't matter in many songs, but I usually don't bother listening for what exactly the lyrics say until I already like a song.
I see the use of the voice as an instrument as more important that the lyrics, if the lyrics even matter at all.

So how important are they really?

depends on the genre and/or focus of the album. like the lyrics on Benji are obviously the only point

just for myself personally they can't be too cringey because that will definitely affect my enjoyment of the music, like some corny punchlines from Kanye or some very juvenile and syrupy lyrics from Lana Del Rey or some shit

however, if I listening to country, gospel or folk where the instrumentation and delivery of the singer lets you hear what they are hearing clearly lyrics make a bigger impact than say if i was listening to heavy metal or trap, a lot of Patsy Cline and Sam Cookes lyrics are SO comfy and contributes a lot to the emotion they are trying to convey

so for me lyrics are important depending on the genre

calling this post-punk is fucking pathetic. Since you retards have no idea what post-punk actually is, go listen to some of The Pop Group, This Heat, and Pere Ubu. Just because it is rock music from the same era as punk, and it isnt really punk, does NOT mean that it is automatically. The instrumentation is way too simple. This is pop. U2 are nothing but a typical mainstream 80s band, along the lines of Foreigner and Bon Jovi, with no debt to punk or post-punk at all.
