多數人對於流行音樂的印象就是「風花雪月」、「談情說愛」， 無論中西，許多學者都發現愛情歌曲是流行音樂的主要類型。本研究 觀察台灣流行音樂的歌詞文本，著重分析當前的流行音樂如何處理和 呈現與愛情相關的議題與概念。本研究結合量化與質性的内容分析 法，分析1989至1998十年間，金曲龍虎榜前十名278首歌曲，結果 發現，台灣流行音樂内容中所呈現的是一個壓抑慾望、充滿分手的感 傷情懷，與經含性別從屬關係的愛情世界。

Love is a major theme in popular music, no matter in eastern or western culture. Since the 1960s, popular music has been studied seriously by western humanists and social scientists. However, there has been a lack of systematic research in music culture in Taiwan. This study intends to analyze how popular music (re) presents love in lyrics content. This study combines quantitative and qualitative content analysis methods to examine 278 songs sampled from top ten in Dragon-Tiger Golden Songs from 1989 to 1998. The findings reveal that what Taiwan’s popular music represents is a love world which lacks physical desire, but is full of sadness resulted from separation, and contains sexual biases. Furthermore, this constructed world is far behind changes in real world.
