This Baby Boomer-centric sentiment seems to crystallize around one topic in particular: modern pop music’s treatment of love and romance—or the lack thereof. According to Boomer Bob, the love song is dying. But is it true? Let’s investigate…
The love song as a genre always felt vaguely religious, like hymns singing the praises of an awesome, terrible god, beseeching them to favour and not smite one, only in this case, the god being romantic love.
I knew a guy who used to write loads of love songs. He had a problem with putting partners on pedestals. The first partner he had that he didn’t write a love song for ended up being the woman he married.

We can only hope.
I love a good old over the top love song. Don’t get me wrong, realistic songs about real life romantic relations are awesome, but I love a world where something like this exists :).
Love song is absolutely not dying lmfao
