AOR
AOR (Adult Oriented Rock) is a sub-genre of Rock that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s as an amalgamation of Rock, Hard Rock and Progressive Rock. It is characterized by a rich, layered sound, slick production and a heavy reliance on pop/rock hooks, which led to its huge popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Adult-oriented rock is distinguished from the US "album-oriented rock" FM radio format, also called AOR, which played not only adult-oriented rock but also album tracks and "deep cuts" from a variety of other rock genres.

AOR songs are almost always synthesizer driven and catchy and very often include harmonized vocals. The catchy choruses combined with relatively short song lengths make AOR a very radio friendly genre. The songs are more melodic than straight-ahead, regular Hard Rock, but still not nearly as light as Pop Rock.
Some of the earliest - and also the most well known - AOR bands include names like Asia, Boston, Foreigner, Journey, Survivor and Toto.
Although AOR experienced a decline in popularity in the 1990s, there has been a resurgence in recent years. Some of the notable groups in this later era include Brother Firetribe, Frederiksen/Denander, Place Vendome and Pride of Lions.

Who's Crying Now
Journey Lyrics
It's been a mystery
But still they try to see
Why something good can hurt so bad
Caught on a one-way street
The taste of bittersweet
Love will survive somehow, somewhere
One love, feeds the fire
One heart, burns desire
One love, who's crying now?
Two hearts, born to run
Who'll be the lonely one?
One love, who's crying now?
So many stormy nights
So many wrong or rights
Neither could change their headstrong ways
And in a lover's rage
They turn another page
The fighting is worth the love they save
One love, feeds the fire
One heart, burns desire
One love, who's crying now?
Two hearts, born to run
Who'll be the lonely one?
One love, who's crying now?
Only so many tears you can cry
'Til the heartache is over
And now you can say your love
Will never die
Whoa ooh ooh, ooh ooh
One love, feeds the fire
One heart, burns desire
One love, who's crying now?
Two hearts, born to run
Who'll be the lonely one?
One love, who's crying now?

Why something good can hurt so bad
Caught on a one-way street

Love will survive somehow, somewhere
One love, feeds the fire
One heart, burns desire
One love, who's crying now?
Two hearts, born to run
Who'll be the lonely one?
One love, who's crying now?
So many stormy nights

Neither could change their headstrong ways
And in a lover's rage
They turn another page
The fighting is worth the love they save
One love, feeds the fire
One heart, burns desire
One love, who's crying now?
Two hearts, born to run
Who'll be the lonely one?

Only so many tears you can cry
'Til the heartache is over
And now you can say your love
Will never die
Whoa ooh ooh, ooh ooh
One love, feeds the fire
One heart, burns desire
One love, who's crying now?
Two hearts, born to run
Who'll be the lonely one?
One love, who's crying now?

It's been a mystery
And still they try to see
Why somethin' good can hurt so bad
Caught on a one-way streets
The taste of bittersweet
Love will survive somehow, some way
One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
Wonder who's cryin' now
Two hearts born to run
Who'll be the lonely one
Wonder who's cryin' now
So many stormy nights
So many wrongs or rights
Neither could change
Their headstrong ways
And in a lover's rage
They tore another page
The fightin' is worth
The love they save
One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
Wonder who's cryin' now
Two hearts born to run
Who'll be the lonely one
Wonder who's cryin' now
Only so many tears you can cry
'Til the heartache is over
And now you can say your love
Will never die
Whoooooa-oh-whoa
Whoooa-oh
Ooooooh-whoa, ooh-whooa
One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
Wonder who's cryin' now
Two hearts born to run
Who'll be the lonely one
Wonder who's cryin' now

Your age doesn't matter. You're here listening to this treasure. That's all that matters.
Jay Smith
So this statement had been made by generations forever, since recorded history... your parents/grandparents will always say the current music is worse than the last generation. BUT! The 90s forward is the only time in history where music is glorified from nonsense, nonsensical, lyrics. Killing, profanity, explicit sex, useless in every way.

@chicken nug couldnt agree more.
