Is it just me or has most of today's music lost it's soul?

When I listen 80s and also 90s music, I have amazing feelings- I feel that singers sang those songs from their hearts...nowadays music is very fast, everything must be connected with sex, yes, there are some exceptions but very few...

One time when I was a HUGE asshole... I shunned my Mother for years. And when I did years behind bars, who was behind the glass at every visit? My dear Mother. I LOVE U MOMMA!
