love and the 90s

my roommate started writing a 90's love song. which i thought was pretty cool.

explained to him that the nature of a true 90's love song was a third love. it wasn't a first love song, filled with innocence and joy, with cheesy teenage written lyrics. it wasn't the second love song, the one that sings of having been broken in the past, and unsure if love could happen again.
then, there is 9o's rock song. the ones that say "i've tried falling in love, falling in love hurt me, but now i've found a good love".

love songs have gone downhill since the 9o's. these days it's emo-esque bands writing complicated lyrics about overly complex relationships. some artists seem to overthink this notion of love, writing lyrics that are impossible to comprehend. the 90's love song said "i just want to love you, despite the mess."

or i could be crazy. i get this way when i drink coffee.
