I think a lot of music that tires to be clever/smart is less so than it comes of as trying to be so. Knowwhati'msayin?
But it's all in the eye (ear) of the beholder.
I just personally think that music that goes for edge tends to come off as try hard and self conscious.
Sincerity needs a comeback. It's unfairly being equated with overblown tripe like Celine Dion/similar styles of delivery.
