It feels like you need to branch out a bit more musically. There's tons of songs about things outside of romance if you look for them.

There is plenty of songs about other things. You need to branch out.

You certainly need to expand your musical tastes. I listen to music about all kinds of emotions and situations.

Even Taylor Swift has plenty of songs that are not about love

I don't get what some people have against love. It's like it has become a trend to look down on love and romance.

There's nothing bad about love. But sometimes you don't want to sing a song about love or lust, which a lot of popular music is.

I'm a hopeless romantic. So...

by Jovani09 1 day ago

And that's fine. But im demiromantic and asexual. So I don't always want to listen to songs about love and sex. And sometimes I wish there were more popular songs with a similar sound to those high-energy pop songs.

Is this a joke? There are plenty of songs about things other than love.

As others have said, branch out to other genres and you'll find many songs about other emotions. I'm good (blue) by bebe rexa - happiness A little bit off today by Five Finger Death Punch - depression Watch me shine by Johanna Pacitti - confidence Flowers by Miley Cyrus - self love after breakup. Ghost Myself by Diamante - self hate Pure by Superchick - happiness & positivity I'm not okay by Crypt - self hate/emotional And many more from many genres.

No one else talks about how the only music ever made is about love? Hmmm… maybe because everyone else listens to more than whatever white woman is trending today?

Black Sabbath more or less invented an entire genre that, in the words of their main lyricist Geezer Butler, wrote "anti-love songs".

Have you...have you ever actually listened to music before?

Listen to more weird music. 'Surging Out Of Convalescence' by Nigel Blackwell is about watching too much daytime TV while off sick and getting annoyed that soap operas don't accurately depict pub darts.

This is only a problem in mainstream rap, pop, and rock. Plenty of other genres besides what you hear on adult hits radio that are less bland.

Mate, in pretty sure The Ataris have all of that non romance stuff on one album. That's not even a deep cut like some of the other stuff people have been suggesting. Pull up some Windrose. All their songs are about how awesome it is to be a fantasy dwarf.

As someone who primarily listens to metal, I think I can name like one or two love songs.

idk what kind of music you're listening to but the diverse emotions that you're talking about are not as rare as you're thinking
