Partially true. I write to make a story people enjoy, so I do care. But I'm going to accomplish that goal in my own fashion. I'm trying to reach a synthesis between the two.

Can someone please explain 'Death of the Author' to me? It's challenging my notions of literature so much that I can't think properly.

>mfw I legitimately heard someone say that Jim Morrison was one of the greatest poets of all time
>mfw people probably think this about Bob Dylan too
Neil Young is the greatest rock lyricist of all time and even what he writes in his songs could never match the likes of any respected actual poet. The same goes for the Wu-Tang Clan, probably the most skilled in hip hop when it comes to lyrics (if you take them as a whole on 36 Chambers - if some hipster responds to this by calling me 'entry-level' and dropping Big Pun or Digable Planets as better, they're really not.) That's just because music is a very limited form when it comes to poetic expression. I mean, when was the last time you read a poem that had a 'chorus' in the sense a song does?

Jeff Mangum is definitely a great lyricist but he's limited in his ability to 'emotionally intense' and somewhat unnerving songs.

It also annoys me that anti-rap people will judge hip hop based on its lyrics - not just how 'good' they are, but if it's an 'appropriate' subject matter for a song. I could think of a thousand great rhymes just from songs about fucking hoes and shooting niggas, but they ignore them cause it's not Tupac trying too hard to be 'deep'. They then praise rock songs that are both terrible in lyrical ability and about poor subject matter, just look at Led Zeppelin.
