AI中文摘要：
文化动荡影响社会生活的诸多方面，许多研究已探讨了其对语言模式的影响。然而，很少有研究在大规模流行媒体中隔离动荡对个体的影响。当前工作评估了跨越一个多世纪的数百万首歌词，以寻找越战、9/11恐怖袭击和COVID-19引发的艺术家内部及艺术家之间的痛苦信号。与五年基线相比，自我参照率（一种心理距离的标记）在越战和9/11之后显著降低。认知处理词汇在动荡后相对于动荡前有所增加，这表明艺术家们更努力地从这些大规模破坏中寻求意义。内容模式佐证了这些发现，因为艺术家们在动荡后更多地书写“生活与自由”（社会状况），而更少地书写“求爱与夜生活”（人际联系）。文化动荡改变了个体和集体的言语行为，展示了其对社会的深远影响。
英文摘要：
Cultural upheavals impact many aspects of social life, and many studies have investigated their impact on language patterns. However, few investigations have isolated the impact of upheavals on individuals at scale in popular media. The current work evaluated millions of song lyrics spanning more than a century in search of within-artist and between-artist signals of distress from the Vietnam War, the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and COVID-19. Compared to a five-year baseline, rates of self-references - a marker of psychological distancing - were significantly reduced after the Vietnam War and September 11th. Cognitive processing terms were elevated post-upheaval vs. pre-upheaval, which indicated artists' increased attempts to make meaning from such massive disruptions. Content patterns corroborated these findings as artists wrote more about "life and freedom" (societal conditions) and less about "courtship and nightlife" (interpersonal connection) following the upheavals. Cultural upheavals modify individual and collective verbal behavior, demonstrating their far-reaching impact on society.
