What followed in the '70s, '80s and '90s was music containing foul lyrics, explicit sex, hatred of parents, gangsta rap ...
Whoa, you forgot the '00s and '10s. In fact, with the American culture in constant decline over the last 40-50 years, they're worse than the decades that preceded them.
(I'd post some images displaying said culture, but this is a family oriented website.)

I apologized numerous times to my son, growing up in the 90’s, for the lack of sweet, romantic songs. I told him that music was lovely when I was growing up in the 60’s and I wished he could have those types of songs, too. He does revere the Beatles and Beach Boys, not as role models but for their lovely songs. Now Jay-Z and other Rap artists have destroyed the ‘lovely’ in teen music. More's the pity.
