The problem is that if a composition does not fit very closely with an existing example, words are not very good for creating associations. Also the advantage of pop music is that you can modify a few elements, but still give the listener some reference point, it can sound new but really just be a variant of an existing style, far enough removed that it is not classified the same, but still close enough that the listener is not completely baffled. You could change rhythms, instrumental timbre, even enrich harmonic language a little bit. You could not likely get away with 12-tone serial composition even with a nice dance beat. So no, I did not mean that Tlucco fits exactly with either of those two bands I referenced, but just to indicate that finding lyrics of "true" pop style like might be found in songs performed by Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Alessia Cara (just to pick a few names from the Billboard Hot 100 list this week) would not necessarily fit, but maybe darker or more introspective lyrics that lean more in the direction of those bands could fit the feel of the music. -- Chris C
