Also, the cause of the traditional poetry drowning is the "human voices" which likely refers to the loss of traditional values in the modern how and the mundanity of it.
The word conspicuous comes from the Latin words "con-" and "-spicire" meaning to look at. And became the word "conspicere" meaning to look at attentively. Then to a Latin word "conspicuus" meaning striking or visible. Therefore, the meaning of conspicuous is to stand out, to be visible or in short, attractive.
