It is good to see you posting again.

The lyrics actually matter the least. This song is all about the passionate performance, the musical arrangement and the conversational manner of most of the lyrics rather than a microscopic disection of each word used. The lyric is a striped raw emotional outburst that is likely more realistic in its portrayal than more polite and family friendly lyrics. The guttural wrenching performance gives them legitimacy that any person, male or female, of that age group could relate to.

I certainly agree with that.

As for your comment as to why you can't write hit songs, I'll say that I agree that you're not going to be able to write a sincere emotional song that depicts the deep emotional outburst of a young woman in the midst of a betrayal or abandonment better than Alanis did. But I invite you (or anyone else over 40) to prove me wrong. Just make sure the singer you get can sell them just as well as they are written.

An interesting observation.
You assume that we (anyone over 40) can't write a sincere emotional song about a young woman in emotional hell.
How about a young man? Are we incapable of that kind of emotion as well.
