    • Nashville's Music Row perfected pop songwriting as a commercially potent fusion of melody and meaningful lyrics.
      Nashville's Music Row fed off, professionalized, and pretty much perfected pop songwriting per se, ending up with what they understood to be nothing less than not just an art form, which they cared about in itself, but a commercially potent fusion or amalgam of irresistible and well‑sung melodies shoring up meaningful verbal constructs capable of inflecting the love lives and even the world‑views of its audience.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

Where they publish

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
