I don’t think poems written in English affect me at all, they either end up too moot in message to actually matter or too long and wordy to speak out, and the lyrics in songs feel repetitive and single dimensional, I can’t even remember the last time I heard a lyric and liked it for its message
Have you found the opposite to be true in other languages? I’m curious to know if this is something you attribute just to English, or a more general boredom with the artform.
I find German and french to be more inspired, Turkish (was studying agglutinative languages for a conlang), Korean and Japanese have a natural rhythm to it, but I haven’t looked at much others
Funnily enough, I do kind of like the new style of British rap that a lot of people mock, I think it’s workable
