This was my response. Honestly, I don't think love is the most popular topic to sing about anymore anyways.FalloutJack said:

I have noticed, but...what are you going to do? Convince people that love has aggrandized to the point of losing meaning by corporations that want their money? Hard to do that without sounding like a conspiracy theorist or Jonathan Swift.
:/ See that face there? That's how I feel about your post. I am extremely :/ about it. Being tired of the overuse of the term "love" is like being tired of the earth rotating. It's gonna happen, you just gotta deal with it.
No. Love is benevolent evil. It is the sweet plague that devours reason, leaving euphoria in its place.
It is both bane and boon, a concept which is neither entirely understood nor undertaken. The delicious contradiction and magnanimity of it all is something that leaves me uncomfortably satiated at all times. I couldn't think of anything more deserving than love.

Love as a term is over used and over popularized in song and etc
that side I can't get enough from my lady

Love is A big part of our lives, and when you think about it, what else would artists write about. I mean how many good songs can you think of that are about other aspects of every day life and how many good songs can you think of that our good that have to deal with love, heartbreak, relationships, and sex.
I think the big problem with love songs though, is that we have to much of this
And not enough this.
Both of them are Pop songs, but the latter deals with a real problem, takes a story, and makes it human not an artifical love, but one that is fleshed out and has genuine problems.
Also by the god damn Antlers album if you haven't already.

I'm so sick of love songs, so tired and slow, so why can't I turn off the radio?
Sorry, had to.
Yeah, I'd say I'm sick of "love" especially having just come out of high school where every couple was apparently in "love", evidently love has a life span of about a month.

Im sorta sick about how its thrown around these days, I still like the concept though, just not how people seem to use it so loosely. Especially in songs, If its used right then it can make a song great, if not, then it just gets annoying
I must know these definitions (and if they have four different words, those too)! Teach me oh wise one! *bows head in apprentice-worship*Atmos Duality said:
OT: The concept ... not really, because the concept of lvoe is actual love ... but the word ... oh how I loathe it. I mean, it is so hard (sometimes) to express love in the english language, because only one word can truly sum it up, and that word is so painfully overused it is now interchangeable with 'like slightly more than other things'. It doesn't even need a romantic connotation anymore for that, the insubstantial use of the word (I just met this girl I barely know and I luv her!!! *Raaaawwrrrr! hormones*) can now be applied to food (among other things). "Chocolate cake tastes nice! I love it sooooo much!" *Raawwwrrr! Chocolate*
Uh, sure. Stop bowing please.Biosophilogical said:
Four principle forms of love (according to Helenestic culture)
In no particular order:
-Storge (Affection). This was reserved for family, primarily. Like the sort of love a father or mother has for their children or between paternal brothers/sisters.
-Philia (friendship). Yes, this is actually the root suffix we have for the "philias" we have today (pedophilia, necrophilia, etc), but its original meaning is more akin to those of a personal, non-family friend.
-Eros (passion). When we think of the typical romantic sort of love, it's Eros. Hell, the Greeks even had a goddess of the same name. It's commonly used to denote "natural love" via attraction or sometimes to describe compulsion (like when Eros plays cupid to mess with people).
-Agape. This is the most nebulous Greek definition of love, and is possibly the one that refers to "unconditional love". It's occasionally cited in biblical texts, but the definitions (in context) tend to overlap. Agape is the most personal and misunderstood love, sometimes referred to as "true love", or "love that cannot be explained".
That is so awesome! Now if only my old school had had Greek instead of Chinese.Atmos Duality said:
No, not really. Love itself and my contact with it is excellent, although I do know a girl who has a new boyfriend a week and proclaims to love them. As for love in media, I don't actually see too much. As like most people on here I pay little attention to celebrities. Most of the music I listen to isn't really about love; love is about as prevalent a theme as war or drugs or whatever.
In Music, yes I'm sick of all the love lyrics.
In film, there's enough variety for love to be overlooked.
Ultimately read, watch, listen to whatever the hell you want. If you don't want love, don't go there.
Although I do think that love, or this concept of love we have thought up, is what makes us human. Really it's just prefered companionship, but it works. We all have the capacity to love. But yeh, whatever man.
