A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Every song ever is about romance, sex or drugs.

This song is about romance. They didn't mean it literally.

Edit: I'm pretty sure I got baited but I'll keep it up. Got me today, squid :P

You need to open up your music tastes...

92% of songs are about love or sex.

That's got nothing to do with my personal taste, that's sex selling (pop) music.

Bah! I know what they really meant with those wordless songs! I've listened to enough Für Elise!

I wish there was more variety. It's ridiculous, frankly. The non-romantic songs can have such interesting subjects. Where are all the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgeralds and I Wish that I could Wear Hats?

Metal, and punk have a lower ratio of love songs.

Less sex and love and more politics and drugs.

True, but unfortunately for me I don't tend to enjoy those genres
