If you don't listen to the lyrics I completely disregard every opinion on music and art you have.

I'll also add that many of the people who say lyrics don't matter spend excessive time making music on their computer, and are always too timid to add their vocals.

Their insistence that lyrics don't matter is a belief they use to reassure themselves.

Its not
>lyrics don't matter
Its
>lyrics don't matter more than any other instrument
The lyrics, as a component of the vocals, matter just as much as the drums, guitar, bass, piano, you name it. The issue is with music listeners that weight having relateable lyrics over anything else. It over emphasizes a fraction of the artform while ignoring the rest of the art.

if you were to name an album, this would work

if it sounds good it's good

nothing. people listen to fucking whale noises. people listen to kesha.

if you wanna talk about it with any real depth you'd have to investigate an artist, song, album or genre and ask, what is it that makes them successful or good?
