I just watched Rick Beato's latest video on how bad song lyrics are today compared to 60s/70s/80s and yeah, it was very "old man yells at cloud." Here's why this is wrong: every time someone makes a video, writes a post about how something is comparatively worse today than it was before, they're cherry picking the best of the past with something disposable from today, in his case "Across the Universe" with a hip-hop song that will likely be forgotten in a few months. The past is always canonical because we that's what we remember. For every "Across the Universe" there are ten "Yummy Yummy Yummy I've Got Love in My Tummies." But no one remembers them when grabbing some random song on Spotify's top ten.
