Song lyrics have become angrier over the past four decades a new study has found.

The study also shows that words have become simpler and more repetitive in rap, country, pop, R&B and rock songs.

Assistant professor at the University of Innsbruck in Austria, Eva Zangerle, said anger-related lyrics in music have become more common due to changes in society and culture.The team also looked at the page views of these lyrics on the online song lyric platform Genius and found that lyrics have become simpler and easier to understand over time.

Researchers speculate this is due to the changes in how music is played, such as increases in songs being played as background music.
