Why artistic rhymes the way it does
The phonology of artistic is a three-syllable core: the high /ษช/ (/ษช/), then it trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 70 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 87, assonance 12,859, and consonance 31. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for artistic tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
