The stereotype rating associated with a song is an attempt to quantify the stereotypicalness of its lyrics. Simply put, it is the percentage of words in the song that are deemed stereotypical.The stereotype rating is separated into six distinct sub-categories: clothing, body, alcohol, trucks, god, and lifestyle. To determine which words were stereo...
The diversity of a song is the number of unique words divided by the total number of words in the song.

- Hank Williams & Hank Williams, Jr., “There’s A Tear In My Beer” Where would you find an instance of a 39-year old man standing next to his 20-something year old father, who has been deceased for almost three decades?
- Toby Keith, “How Do You Like Me Now?!” Who hasn’t lived the words of this 2000 Toby Keith hit? The video for this song further documented the triumph that a guy feels when he gets a chance to show that he’s made it – in the face of the girl who wouldn’t give him the time of day?
