I'm talking about other languages people have no idea about or some weird song like "fear garden" why do people listen to these songs? To hear "DASLDLASLDDLASLDADS" all the way through?

Music is a universal language that everyone can enjoy meow. So just because you can't understand the lyrics, doesn't mean a song is bad.

If you can't understand the lyrics, then you may as well listen to something with just a good beat and stuff. What's the point of listening to something you really will not understand? It's about as dumb as reading a book in a different language; sure, it may have pictures, but you still can't get the full message because you can't read it..

because the beat is good, the background music is nice, and you can feel the vibe.

Because if you don't understand the language then you won't know how stupid the lyrics probably are.

Right, because music revolves around lyrics.

[quote] Humanmango : Right, because music revolves around lyrics. [/quote] Actually, most of it does... Hence "genres". Genres separate music based upon the subject of the lyrics. Music is a way of expressing your thoughts. I'm sorry, but thoughts cannot be expressed through background music and beats. The only message an artist can get across with background music and beats is mood, if that. Sure, expressing your mood is good, but it's useless if you can't explain why you're in that mood. People say music is universal... But only if it's techno or something of an instrumental sort. If you can't understand the lyrics in a song, you're not really grasping the true meaning of the song. It's exactly like watching a movie in a different language without subtitles. Sure, you might understand PART OF IT, but you'll never understand it as intended.

I don't think hardstyle is all about the lyrics, you're lucky if you get more than one word.

It's not about the lyrics... Its about the feel to it, you know? The rhythm, the beat, the mood. Thats why people like different types of music. And Humanmango is also correct.
