The "My wife passed away..." is so common. I would think that would be a turn off to the young generations on the music. Maybe that's the point? A lot of the music it's used on has been repurposed already in a new song.
Am I weird for being angry at the latest wave of songs that straight up steal an older song's melody and reuse it in some inane bullshit? The one that comes to mind for me is that song that ripped off "Blue" by Eiffel 65 by David Guetta. It's not like Eiffel 65 was a modern Bach or anything, but the "I'm Good" version feels so empty and blatantly a ripoff that I can't help but get angry when I hear it.
There are so many waves of this happening though, I think that you might be noticing it on your favorite music for this wave.
Honestly a lot of Edm does this shit. Its one thing if its a remix or Flip or Edit. but the songs that are just built off a older existing song is just lazy. Also Edm is may favorite Broad Gerne of music before anyone claims im bitching about Edm. Tech house is my favorite of house followed by bass house.
