Yes, they are all pushing back against rap, hip hop and the death of real music.

I think melody is important and, looking back, that is probably why it took me almost 2 years to warm up to TISL, because it lacked melody to me. However, once I fell for it, it was as if my eyes had finally been opened.

But Lindsey has always been able to bring that when he wants. There's a reason why the crowd always loves I Know I'm Not Wrong, even though must of them have never heard it before.

Plus, Lindsey did not just contribute to his own songs all those years. There are some FM songs that may not have been written by him, but are infectious because of him, at least partly.

But her lyric/melody comment made me think she didn't like UTS or GOS and that makes me a little sad. I thought she would. I don't expect her to like Go Insane or Law and Order, but I thought she would have liked the last ones more.
