I don't believe that is true at all.  Obviously several years ago
those songs did have meaning to the "everyday" people who listened
to them.  The problem was that the groups who wrote them failed to
grow and change and mature, choosing to make poor attempts at rehash
rather than to innovate the way they used to.

Do Kenny Rogers songs have meaning or emotion to everyday people?
