I didn't. I know she's used "pretty hate machine" in "Caught a Lite Sneeze" and also "nine inch nails" in "Precious Things." I knew "Professional Widow" was about Courtney Love but didn't know NIN had also written a song called "Starfuckers" which solidifies why she used that lyric.

I listen to enough instrumental music, or music in foreign languages or such extreme vocalisations that lyrics are definitely an afterthought.

Granted the more intelligible the lyrics are, the more they can detract from a song if I don't like them.

You’re not offended because you’re being disingenuous and know that “is this the hill you want to die on” is a common English expression. As should be apparent by our lack of a “hill”. You can’t make a sound argument against my points, so you deferred to attacking something that has nothing to do with the arguments being made. It’s a distraction technique, and you know it.

Quit your bullshit.

I know it's common but I flat out don't understand how someone can be a fan of lyrical music without caring about the lyrics or the music. I hear "I don't listen to the lyrics" so often and I can't even comprehend how that could be. How do you listen to and like music without noticing and caring about what they're saying?

"And I say, is it too much to ask for both?"

My favorite songs typically sound great but also have lyrics that I find impactful/interesting. If I have to choose one I guess the music is the more important factor
