## Dataset Creation |
|
I filtered this dataset from sebastiandizon/genius-song-lyrics, picking what I percieve as modern pop artists. There's definitely better criteria for making a dataset of modern pop artists, but I wanted to do this quickly. |
|
|
|
### Curation Rationale |
|
|
|
This dataset was created to provide researchers with access to a clean, organized collection of contemporary pop lyrics for analysis purposes. Artists were handpicked to represent modern pop music. |
|
|
|
### Source Data |
|
|
|
#### Data Collection and Processing |
|
|
|
- Data was collected from Genius |
|
- Artists were manually selected by what I think are modern pop artists (loose definition) |
|
- Data is structured in CSV format |
|
|
|
#### Who are the source data producers? |
|
|
|
The original content was created by various contemporary pop artists and songwriters. The lyrics are sourced from Genius. |
|
|
|
### Personal and Sensitive Information |
|
|
|
The dataset only includes publicly available song lyrics and artist names. No personal information is included beyond what is publicly available in song credits. |
|
|
|
## Bias, Risks, and Limitations |
|
|
|
- The dataset reflects a curated selection of artists and may not represent all aspects of pop music |
|
- Coverage may be biased towards certain artists or time periods based on the selection criteria |
|
- The dataset is subject to copyright restrictions that limit its use |
|
|
|
### Recommendations |
|
|
|
- Users should review and comply with all applicable copyright laws |
|
- The dataset should be used for research purposes only |
|
- Analysis should consider the selective nature of the artist collection |
|
- Users should be aware of potential biases in the manual selection process |
