The point was that all pop is vapid and mindless and it's okay to like vapid and mindless music. Just because lyrics are vapid doesn't mean the music isn't well-made or that the beats aren't catchy. Most people agree that pop is meaningless and vapid, but the point of pop is not to be meaningful and poetic and the OP of this secret is sort of dumb for expecting it to be anything else, no matter what language it's in.

But, if it makes you feel good to imagine that there's no point in that, then...

Have a nice day. :)

I agree with your broad point, but I think it's a little wrong to describe pop music as "meaningless and vapid." It's meaningless in terms of the lyrics, sure, but it's emotionally meaningful and resonant with people or it wouldn't be as popular as it is.

I agree that liking one kind of pop music over another, or dismissing a pop song solely because of the shallowness of the lyrics, misses the point of pop music. But I disagree that pop music is inherently meaningless / unserious / worthless / vapid. Pop music is both cool and rad and worth taking seriously because it satisfies real (if adolescent) emotional needs.

Pop lyrics, due to their nursery-rhyme repetition and overwhelming presence in the sound mix, can become extremely annoying, detracting from the catchy appeal of an otherwise-enjoyable piece of music. It is perfectly fair to dislike English pop as opposed to non-English pop for this reason and there's nothing 'hipster' about it.
