It makes you wonder why the younger generation gravitates towards this style. I'd love to hear more thoughts on this!

lol what? Lil Wayne and Lady Gaga were popular when I was in middle school, that was like 12 years ago.
If it's profound lyrics you want there is no shortage of thought provoking artists from this decade alone, and some of them are even hugely popular! The diversity of music coming out lately has been unlike anything we have seen in music before, cross pollination of dif genres, scenes, mentalities. The gatekeeping present with decades of past is mostly gone nowadays, there really is an abundance in creativity at the moment and especially with darker times in history people are creating very important art to shape cultural change. Luckily, the internet has, along with many cons, given platform to so many new lines of thinking and being that one can truly not be bored with modern music if they go about looking for it, which is also increasingly easy.
