Rockstars are Losers

We love rockstars. You know how overwhelmingly large rock fans are in concerts. Fans are one of the perks that rockstars, especially male, enjoy. They seem not to be short of admirers, yet they seem to be losers in love and relationship. And its all evident in their songs they make.

Franco's Stupid Me reveals such case. Coldplay's The Scientist seems to display a desperate yearning of a lost love. Pedicab's Konti Na Lang seems to imply the songwriter was avoided and used by a girl. Up Dharma Down's Oo is a nostalgic but painful breakup. Rico Blanco's Para Hindi Ka Mawala is pitiful plea to win back a girl. Foo Fighters's Walking After You seems to be an endless tailing (or stalking, at worst) to a girl. Alanis is a famous loser in relationships. Silverchair's Miss You Loce is a confusing confession of missing.

Why do rockstars seem to be frail in love? They seem but they seem not. Is this frailty only true to rockstars? Not, I guess, but they definitely come in second with melancholic balladeers. Popstars don't seem to pose a very strong frailty in love. They are more into happier songs or beats.

Is it just that painful experiences make great rock songs or record producers just ought rockstars to write painful love stories to sell?
