Lyrics, class, and what the language used in the songs we listen to tells about us. (genre, fan)

[My beloved monster and me]

Hi,

I'm doing a communications and culture investigation- looking at the cultural context of music, and more specifically the language within particular songs and genres.

I would really like your opinion on how the lyrics to peoples' favourite songs reflect their background, class, identity, etc.

For example, do you think restricted language (words and phrases that only make sense to a particular subculture) used within a song reflects a working class fan base/audience? does symbollic or heavy use of imagery suggest a middle- high class audience?

The more you can develop it the better!! Really interested to know what you think.

Thanks
