What exactly makes a rhyme FORCED? I never understand that kind of insult. Usually, the point of a song is to make the lines RHYME.
That's not the point of a song at all, though. Songs tell stories, and rhyming is a technique that helps tell the story by emphasizing different words and lines. Rhymes should have a purpose. Forced rhymes are rhymes that don't flow naturally with the story, and they're put there for the sake of rhyming. Forced rhymes distract from the actual message. In songs, technique should always follow substance, not the other way around.
I only want to die alive
Never by the hands of a broken heart
I don't wanna hear you lie tonight
Now that I've become who I really are
To be fair she didn't want the lyric to be are but Max shouted it would be funny cause he's fat

Then why do people get dragged for 'not having enough rhymes' if the point is about telling stories in a song?

Examples? Rhymes help with the musicality of a song when you're only reading the lyrics, but I haven't seen anyone get dragged for not having enough rhymes.

ddd expose me, I don't have any examples
My friend usually drags me whenever I show my songs that don't have a lot of rhymes and says I should add more.
Be careful how you reply cause he's in the game too! Kii
IMo different songs serve different purposes. Some to tell stories, some to sound catchy, etc... it's the dlivery and the clear intentions that make a song good.
Like 75% of Katy's ballads are bad because they are delivered as serious things but the songwriting is terrible she should stick to mindless pop where she shines (sometimes)
is it preferred for an electronic song to explain before hand when the instrumental will be or do it in the song?
marking where things are in submissions is tacky imo (except the verse, chorus, bridge, etc but "instrumental" is not needed, this is a lyrics competition)
