What happened to love songs

[Human Torch]

Is that why R&B is dead?

I mean if R&B is about love and the average listener don’t care about love, well…


There are more technical reasons I’m sure if that’s what you’re looking for. But at a simplified level, yea…

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Love songs went away because no one knows what either 'man' or 'woman' mean anymore.​

 

[Yagirlcheatinonus]

You right OP I grew up on R&B and love songs dude to my parents.. I feel like after 2010’s all the love songs disappeared off radio.

Because they only talk about putting their feelings in their safe or icebox. They got no time for love

It’s crazy how they just erased a genre almost cuz R&B in its height moved units without crossing over.

 

[Hoodoo Child]

I mean I don’t think that’s it. Cuz people they support Chris Brown even though he pop. I just don’t think no R&B isn’t being made or haven’t for a while. Is R&B dead?

Yes and no. The RnB that we grew up listening to is dead, but many subgenres grew it's place. Keeping it somewhat "afloat"

 

[Software]

Be in a culture encouraging men to seek mental health help and to talk about their feelings breh

Also be in a society that frowns upon songs about one of the strongest human feelings because it's soft brehs

 

[DJ Paul's Arm]

Because today, all you gotta do is swipe left or right.

I guess every dude want's to be goon with a drug habit and the women want to be a goon on the stripper pole

That’s crazy Chris Brown is keeping it alive he actually tour. But I understand what you’re saying the content today is different

 

[Amo Husserl]

R&B Dudes were looked at as "Soft".

A lot of Broads don't like "Soft Dudes".

The music adapted

Did Chris Brown perfect the formula?

 

[010101]

songwriting degenerated

artist emotional intelligence & maturity is constantly decreasing

it's a reflection of the world..........

[Buzzed Lightyear]

Hoes.

 

[Lonj]

It'll be back, people are going to get tired of all the ratchedness and bring love back. Coco Jones fine ass is one I've been keeping an eye on. Hopefully she stays the course and don't sell out.

Did Chris Brown perfect the formula?

The whole "R&B Thug" thing started way before Chris.

Hell even Bobby Brown was known as "The Bad Boy of R&B".

But even the "R&B, Bad Boys", had "Boundaries".


Nowadays nothing is off the table, SMH!

Somewhere along the way Black American Music, shifted.

Both Hip Hop, and R&B started going down the path we are on now.


I remember when profanity was NOT something you would typically hear in an R&B song.
Now days, we got "Singers", singing the N-Word and Bytch this, and that.

The BAR IS LOW, REAL LOW!

The Kids don't know any better, because that is the "World" they were born into.

So "Dysfunctional" music is just "Music".
