why do rock bands keep naming songs after cities

like, like seriously, how many songs can there be about new york, los angeles, or chicago before its just... redundant? i get that cities are iconic and all but it feels like theyre running out of ideas. cant they name a song after something less obvious for once, like a random small town or a street no one’s heard of? or better yet, something completely unrelated to geography. its not like the song even has to be about the place most of the time. its just a name drop. i swear if i hear one more 'london calling' rip-off im gonna...

They do that so that the songs will be remembered for a very long time. It is mainly because of that reason and I am sure that they are quite okay with such a plan once their songs gain popularity from it because the focus nowadays is which songs is topping the charts and not whether those song are even that good.
