I generally hate lyrics and listen to songs in various European languages because I like vocals as an “instrument” but hate understanding what they are actually saying.
Meaningful lyrics add nothing to the song for me and generally serve to distract from the song.
… unless it’s about battle or manliness or something. That is my exception. I will listen to Ensiferum songs with English lyrics all day long.

Ensiferum fucks on so many levels.
I don’t fully agree with you, but I’ve had similar thoughts before. Ariana Grande has an incredible voice and yet I can’t understand 95% of what she sings. But it sounds nice!
Then do you listen to classical music? Electronic? Songs from video games and films are often instrumental.
>unless it’s about a battle or manliness
Odd but okay. Ah yes, Y.M.C.A., lyrically a masterpiece.
You’ll like shlohmo, so much emotion 0 lyrics
This is quite common. I might sing lyrics but most of the time i’m not putting them together and forming some deep meaning. I just sing it and bop to the beat.
finally an unpopular opinion that isnt some deranged garbage
Based band choice
What’s your opinion on a song like hey ya by OutKast? Meaningful, depressing lyrics, but most people don’t even realise cos it’s such a bop
Battle or manliness. Lol.
