What is this generations Nirvana, Limp Bizkit, Tupac, or Rage against the machine? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.

Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?

Yes, that is my point. We aren't getting this generations stop the killing or down with the president. Nixon, Reagon, and Bush all got called out by name.

Kendrick is goimg after a know groomer while a know rapist watches. We are having families riped apart by a secret police force while a netflix anime is topping the charts.

It blows my mind and confuses me. Especially when I hear younger generations complain about nothing being done, while their peers do nothing.

I guess I should be happy no one recommended country music.

nothing being done

Yeah that's its own sort of doomer individualism. I wish I could tell you, as someone who teams up with others to do things that the view disappears in practical work, but tbh it seems like it only increases. Idk. There are def lots of young people joining the movement. Hasn't reached a critical point but it's growing.

I wish we had more artists since most are like political sickos

RATM listeners as a group didn't do anything either.

I don't think music actually compels people to action, conditions do.
