> Music in the 70s/80s were more about romance

> today is more about sex and drugs

I mean I think you're just being very selective about, well, both eras.

There were plenty of lyrics about sex and drugs in the 70s and 80s. Some of them quite disturbing (I'm still slightly traumatised by Spotify serving me what I _thought_ was "Ca plane pour moi" but was actually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_Boy,_Jet_Girl a while back - it's the same tune, but... very different lyrics). And there's plenty of fluff in the 21st century.
