But yes, gender-neutral songs ARE generally inherently better (presuming there is no good reason to make the song more specific) because more people can identify with them.

This is, simply put, stupid. a) It works on the assumption that a person can't identify with a song if they don't share the gender and sexuality of the subjects within the song. b) You're throwing around "inherently better" as if that's a proven fact, as if the number of people who could possibly listen and identify with a song is some sort of measure of quality. I don't know where you're getting this idea. Song quality is completely subjective. In my opinion, gender specific songs ARE inherently better because they tend to give me a greater sense of who and what the writer is writing about, a stronger sense of the story they're trying to tell. I don't need to identify with the songwriter's gender or sexuality for that.
