Though the last 10 years have done much to erode the stylistic divide between dance music and the innumerable rock and pop variants, the perception persists that music made for dance floors isn't quite as serious or thoughtful as music written for headphones. Lyrics, after all, are secondary in dance music; often they're the dressing for arrangements designed to bypass your brain and go straight to your body.
