This study looks at how lyrics (and swearing in songs) have changed since the 1950s

Here’s another British commercial masquerading as scientific research, but I’ll bite because I love the subject matter. Lottie, which helps people find personal care homes(!!!) commissioned a study of 35,000 songs from the 1950s to the 2010s to determine how lyrics have changed.

Here are some nifty charts.

This is my favourite. Interesting for a survey aimed at people looking for old folks’ homes.

This is good, too.

And who swore the most in their songs? I don’t get this list.
