    “Why is every movie about love?” I ask myself, halfway through the 10th romcom I’ve deliberated selected to watch on Netflix

    Love is a popular song topic but you’re free to listen to something else…

      A small fraction of tv is full romance

      (though most tvs shows have some romance in them, that’s a separate problem)

      Feels like 80-90% of pop songs are about love/sex/lust/relationships

        The point of the joke was that you’re choosing listen to the pop songs about romance. I guess a better analogy would have been “why does every candy have chocolate in it?”

        Most people like love, most people like chocolate. They’re in a lot of popular things because they’re popular but they’re far from the only option

          Like 50% of the music I listen to is in stores and restaurants and other such avenues, so not really no :(

            Make the other half something else lol

            I listened to music all day and I don’t think there was a single love song
