The quest for quality lyrics
Music (good music) is life to us. It has the ability to brighten our faces in darkest moments and most at times it is more like prophesy that's why we have to be extremely careful with the kind of songs we listen too and be mindful of it's lyrics because first it is either one is insulting his or herself or claiming blessings.
True, the music industry has changed drastically over the years compared to what it is now and one thing I can say affected it is the quest for money. Sure money is good and everyone wants this paper but then when the quest to want to have it becomes massive, one can certainly do anything to get it. I possibly can't blame the artist alone in this, because for the fact they still sings ungodly lyrics means people streams their songs else they would have stopped it a long time. We are in the era of the Gen Z baddie and the bad guys and then these people wants to hear and sing along with what match their vibes making the artist to keep singing what will fetch more money for them.
I remember back in early 2000s whenever a playlist is out and not good for public consumption, it is likely to be banned cause of disruption but now, everything is good and it is even most of this songs they vibe too.
Knowing fully well how music is so important in my life cause I can't count how many times it has console me when going through a difficult phase of my life, I have made it clear to myself that no more circular songs. Songs are not just mere lyrics like I have said earlier it's a prophecy, either a curse or a blessing so I decided to go with gospel songs instead and this has helped me avoid singing/ vibing to songs that are nothing to write home about.
Before artist out there can be made to put in more effort in their songs, ensuring they produce only good and quality music, then the change has to first start from it's listener else I see this as something almost impossible to do. The journey for quality and good lyrics starts when we the streamers of this songs stops downloading it and then stars showing our displeasure in the songs that way the artist realizing that he or she no longer delivers what the people want begins to change their pattern of singing because they want to make money and it is only possible when they do what the people wants to hear and not what they like to produce. Although as individuals our desires varies, but when a good number of listeners decides to go for good lyrics then we begin to have less of the nothing to write home about songs in the society.

Thank you for your time, peace 🕊️
You can't really expect all humans to choose to start doing the right thing, there will surely be some who would choose to glorify those vogue songs. The best thing is to bring back governmental censorship to the music industry, which might force artist hands to do the right thing.
If the music is good it gives us a lot of benefits it gives us peace we forget our troubles for some time but the way music is going today I don't like it much and thanks for listening to old songs.
Really Musicians needs to do better, than singing shallow music,
