It’s only “boring” to those who are jaded on pornography, which is not a good way to be.

There's a good scene in the Tom Cruise "Jack Reacher" movie in which a woman in a bar yells, "He called me a whore!"

Her brother suddenly appears and towers over Tom and says, "Is that true?"

"Well, no one said whore. She inferred hooker ... but I meant slut."

By “boring” we’re not necessarily referring to the lyrics, but more the music...it all sounds the same.

I really don’t think it is necessary to be jaded by excessive exposure to porn to find it boring.

I've noticed that a lot of current hits are almost A Capella. They have sort of a throb as the music; really not much more than that. No real music at all. Then a woman with a big voice belts out crude lyrics.

Really boring.

The worst is a song starts out with some potential, then there’s a frickin’ rap in the middle.....UGGGH!

The sad part is that it’s not all pop stars. Look at photos of Adele, Lorde, Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson. There aren’t many crotch shots, barely there body suits in this group. What do they have that Miley doesn’t?

I guess we’re just different. I find it repulsive and hellish.

That was the push of radical feminism. In order to be 'equal' to men, women had to be as 'sexual' as men. They forgot that women are much more vulnerable, when it come to sex, than men are. They don't like it, and they try to argue it isn't so, but you can't argue with biology.

So young women are encouraged by radical feminism, through groups like Planned Parenthood, and the National Abortion Rights Action League, to 'be sexual', and the way they are encouraged to do so is to be sexually active, with as many partners as they prefer. With pop stars, it means to get up on stage and sing about sex, and dance and dress provocatively, This started with Madonna, and has gone downhill ever since.

The culture of the US is a vast wasteland.

Owning??

The real point is that these women are selling sex. Nothing new there. And not a step forward. I guess these dames are too dumb to see that. Typical broads.

“I replied to this comment:

“You’re correct, but don’t you think those boys in their prime were banging every chick in the fan queue?”

Song lyrics have been dirty since before I was born.”

Yep.
Try listening to some old Z Z Top.

It isn’t a big step forward. Oversaturation happened a long time ago, and even that word is whitewashing it.

Turning girls into sluts practically before they can have babies is destroying the culture, along with turning boys into immoral barbarians.
