It really depends. If I notice that the lyrics are actually deep, well thought out commentary I’ll pay attention, otherwise I just treat them like another instrument in my head.

I feel like most mainstream listeners expect lyrics at this point. I’ve literally had people be confused or surprised when I’ve shown them songs without lyrics. It’s kind of annoying, because it seems to lead to people just shitting on genres of music simply because the lyrics are muddy or not concise, or not the forefront of the music
