I'm definitely with you. 99% of pop lyrics are pure shit, the vocals however, are often wonderful. Rap music is perhaps a slight exception since so much focus is put on what the MC is saying. But still it's probably 90% pure shit. It's amazing how many of the pop (and I mean "pop" in the most generic multi-genre sense) songs I love have nonesensical lyrics-"lalala" etc.
I learned this after years of listening to White Stripes, they finally had a hit with a song with the chorus "ahhh-hah-hah-hah-hah" (rep.)
