That’s because he stuffed himself with Jenny Craig food while watching Kirstie Allie commercials .

Nah. People talking about dicks or pussy or sex or paraphilia is as old as hell, as are people who overvalue their function (see kanye for a current example).

And popular music is de facto popular because it checks the lowest common denominator across the board. It's very often very dumb.

There are exceptions, of course. Where the wild roses grow, for instance, is pretty atypical (for a song that hit the charts, not nick cave), being about a murderers obsession with and killing of his victim, and then the same from the victim's point of view.

Though that Falco song Jeanny shares the general dark overtures, so it could be an indication that certain trends more likely produce certain art, and currently the trend is that of 'me', which yeah, is depressing.

Think I may have just talked myself into agreeing lmao.

Anyway my point is it's more complex than just 'mankind dumb af smh'

Really? The blatant vulgarity and glorification of... I'm not even sure what to call that. But that doesn't strike you? Make you think that the world is going down hill?

Every generation thinks that, and there's worse things than that song, but still. It's pretty emblematic of modern America.
