When musicians or bands write music about where you just happen to live, are the lyrics "right on" or "stereotypical?"?

both
many songs about my area are stereotypical
but also they are right on because although everyone is not like the song, most are haha

I think this is pretty right on.

I can’t think of any songs directly related to my current home, but when I lived in Boulder, there were lots of songs that were really right on. My personal favorite was “Alfalfa’s”: by Leftover Salmon. This is the ultimate Boulder song. Listen to this song. It will make you laugh.

Also, “I Know You Rider” always makes me homesick for the cool Colorado rain. And I say that, fully aware of the irony that I left work early today due to freezing rain.

“Take Me Home Country Roads” written about WV talks about the Blue Ridge Mountains. They are not in WV.

Well, the Boss has Jersey Shore working class angst down pretty well for an amateur.

Travis Tritt sings Modern Day Bonnie & Clyde. The trip in the song is from Johnson City, TN to Richmond, VA. He sings “it’s a long way to Richmond rollin’ north on 95” but that is not how you get there at all. You take 81N to 64E and you’re there. Taking 95 would be absurd and completely out of the way. I cannot tell you how much it irritates me.

Judge for yourself!

Well sometimes this feels so right
And the lastest from Jigger stirs me with that Chorus
She’s my lover.
