This is a cool analysis featuring an interesting metric (degree of compressibility) for measuring repetitiveness in song lyrics.
Great graphics explaining the algorithm too!
Spoiler: Lyrics do seem to get more repetitive.
- woliveirajr 8y agoDegree of compressibility is an interesting tool that serves many purposes. One that I like is Normalized compression Distance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalized_compression_distance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalized_compression_distanc... is a light starting point). With NCD you can measure, for example, how similar two lyrics are, or even group similar songs together.
