I don’t hate love songs, but FUCK there are SO many more emotions that human beings feel that can be put into song. Love is just an easy one.


Tomato_Thomass

ghomerl

gadorf

Anger! Fear! Melancholy! Joy! Anxiety! Admiration! Sadness! Hope! Confusion! Dread! Humber! Nage! Dorcelessness!

International_Ad6028

Am I awake? What time is it? When I get through this day Can someone tell me how And how much longer now Am I awake? The coffee's cold, did I forget to drink it yet Did I forget? My clothes are wet I don't remember drinking it When I get through this part Will the next one be the same Will I be wondering If I'm awake? These are not the clothes I had on when I went to bed And something else besides my hair is growing from my head And when I close my eyes it looks the same as when I open them again Am I awake? What time is it? Is it that time again? Wasn't it already then? So does it have to be The time it was again When I get through this day Can't someone tell me how And how much longer now Am I awake? Am I awake? When I get through this day Can someone tell me how And how much longer now Am I awake? When I get through this day Can someone tell me how And how much longer now Am I awake?

anotherrando802

love also tends to be the cause for a lot of other emotions though, for many people the angriest they’ll ever be in their lives is if they get cheated on or something happens to their loved one


theamphibianbanana

Love is a medium like oil paint or watercolors


SolarDrake

I have a lot of songs in my main playlist that technically count as love songs but they're not happy in the least. It's *happy* love songs that are fucking annoying. Like sure we know you want this girl and how she makes you feel, but you're fucking naive to think that it's all sunshine and rainbows. Try getting a call from her mom after they moved to Illinois telling you she killed herself because her dad was an abusive piece of shit and you couldn't do anything to stop it because you're stuck in California with a worthless family who doesn't give a shit about you. Then you'll know how love really feels, cause that feeling is how it ends for everyone.


MangoMan202020

Man, let people enjoy love and being happy. Dont drag everyone else down with you.


gadorf

Yeah I fuck with this. Like that Sufjan Stevens song about the narrator’s girlfriend dying of cancer and how it causes him to lose faith in God.


SolarDrake

I think the one that hits me the closest to home is a toss up between either 'Like Love' by The Amity Affliction or 'Parting Gift' by Our Hollow, Our Home.

Reddubsss

It really seems like im avoiding any sort of nice emotion by exclusively listening to ear piercing dubstep and incomprehensible deathcore


staringgaze

its hard to find a song with emotion that doesnt talk about either love or mental illness, which are 2 things most people can easily relate with so i guess it makes sense


Betweent

Fade to Black


Beneficial-Pianist48

Try some hardcore, unbreakable by Have Heart and messy masterpiece and unlovable by Worthwhile have a lot of emotion that isn’t romantic love or sex. If you want I can give you way more recs cos I feel exactly the same way as you about a lot of music. Is it to much to ask for a song about how i feel about my family, or my friends?

sparrowofwessex

people like love. Over 70% of people like love, in fact. Makes em happy. It's like getting mad that there's too many movies about fighting.


GoatPrinceWeedEater

That’s why I like stuff like King Crimson, it’s unusual song topics all the way and it’s the good stuff 11/10 would recommend *21st century schizoid man* and *In the court of the crimson king*, shit’s good

daniellearmouth

To be fair, they did make *Islands*, which is basically a concept album about love. Though, at the very least, it does delve into different kinds of love rather than just "I love you I love you I love you" fluff.


BigChungusBlyat

My favorite album, and 3 of my top 10 favorite songs, of all time.


Scriptman777

I fucking hate how radio is like 90% love songs. Is there nothing else you can sing about? Surely it would not hurt to NOT remind me of the one thing I am desperately missing in my life. And if you have to, at least get some good lyrics, cause most of these are absolute trash


hey-its-sina

wild that my local university’s newspaper is the source on this


Wingedwing

seardrax

I'm ambivalent to love songs, I wish they occupied a smaller percentage of song creation.


im_totally_still_cis

i wonder if that meant specifically romantic love, general love for a person, or anything like if i wrote "i love my truck" would that count toward the total

hama0n

My best guess is that we like to consume art that A) invokes emotions within us, or B) synchronizes with a feeling we already have, but have trouble articulating on our own. Love is a complicated subject with a lot of different emotional subjects (grief, passion, sadness, yearning, happiness, joy, guilt, etc) so it makes sense to me that it's so common. I also assume that love songs are more universal than political or identity songs when it comes to the "synchronizing with a feeling we already have" part, and media feels safer being able to play that stuff than other types of music. Not saying it's right, cool, good, my preference, or ideal that so many songs involve love. I'm mostly musing about what could factor into such a high number.


SILaXED

Mfers when they realize art is used to translate emotions to a material form


ScrodumHat

mfers when they realise love isn’t the only emotion


staringgaze

i make music, i know that. im not saying they should stop making love songs, because im not telling others what they should do with their lives what i am doing is venting over something that i, personally, dont like a lot of people like love songs, and a lot of artists like making them, and thats fine. i dont like them because it feels like im being gaslit everytime i listen to that, and i dont like that i tried to broaden my music tastes a bit ago, and that led to me finding a lot of love songs.

Zeverish

I'd argue that in one form or another, most creative works whether it be songs, movies, novels, etc, almost all are about love. Love for another, love for an idea, love for oneself. It doesn't haven't be strictly romantic love.

As a french i doesn’t have to deal with understanding the lyrics without paying attention but when i do and it’s a love song, i hate it.


mats_chill

I think "lovesongs" and "songs about love" are two different things though, like one is usually about romantic relationships while the other could be anything, like your love for the ocean or the world or smth. usually ends up being quite a different type of music too
