I guess it depends on who's doing the singing and how an individual person interprets the music and lyrics of a song.
I couldn't agree with you more. If your music is about negative subjects just about the only way to deal with this is in a tongue-in-cheek manner, otherwise people will think you're too serious and refuse to listen to you. I've never listened to GWAR but the majority of their lyrics are negative and the fans take it as 'joke songs'. In fact, joke songs are quite common in the punk fraternity. Even though I'm not the biggest Blink 182 fan, I could admit some of their songs with questionable lyrics are done tongue-in-cheek.

Music is definitely a big influence. IMO, rap is crap (hehe, rap is crap... ). Some of it is really bad, like what Trogdor said, glorifying violence, etc. But not all of it.
that's just your opinion, mine is that rap rules!!!
however, some of what I have heard, for example, some songs that I have, one in particular is talking about sex.
the title of the song says it all
