Hi, Naemanson. I've been thinking about your students, who you said don't listen to the words in their music. I don't think this means there is anything wrong with the students.

1. When have you heard rock music where you can understand the words? Not often, I bet. (I'm assuming that the kids listen to rock, since rock has such a stranglehold on our culture.)

If the kids are listening to some other kind of music, the same questions apply.   

2   When somebody writes the words down so we see what they are, do they make sense? Not often. Therefore, they are hard to remember and they are not interesting.

In contemporary music, the lyrics just don't matter much. The vocal line is there to give the elaborate electronic instruments and excuse to be played.
