"As far as moral decline .. every generation thinks the ones after it are more morally corrupt than theirs, until they completely lose touch and give up on trying to understand."
I'll agree with this up until a point. Sometimes an event happens that will reset the moral clock (the Great Awakening is an example), but for the most part, it's true. The question is: Is the next generation more morally corrupt? That is, is the previous generation correct in the assumption? I say yes. In the example of music, have the lyrics become even more extreme every generation? Is there more to it than just the economic gratification you mentioned? Isn't there more about total gratification? Where have the love songs gone?
