I kind of get what you mean. There's a lot of pressure to "stay relevant" in the genre. It's practically a given that any artist will reference current events or current pop culture because it makes them sound fresh and hip and in the know. Lots of lazy ones especially amateur/underground substitute references for meaning.

On the other hand they're shooting themselves in the foot a bit by doing so. I've never went back and listened to classics from the 80s or 90s and been like "ah yes, this political reference about a minor scandal that happened when I was five, I understand the meaning of this line." So the more they do it and the more niche they get, the faster their lyrics will become irrelevant.

Lots of bad comedians substitute references for humor too.
