How on god's green earth did limp bizkit make it on this list?
Seems to me that these days, with a lot of issues fragmented in our society, different bands tend to focus on certain issues - although there are some exceptions, yet this is also just based off what I've noticed.
Bob Vylan has been making the rounds, Kendrick Lamar has also been outspoken on some injustices over the years. Lambrini Girls focus on sexism in a rather angry manner. IDLES have some songs regarding frustration with aspects of society, however they're not as detailed in their messages yet they still provide the energy for them.
Kneecap have been speaking about the situation in Palestine in a rather political manner, and have great pride for Ireland - they sing mainly in an Irish language, however great energy for the message.
If you go a bit further you have Bloodywood, an Indian metal/hard rock band focusing on various issues (I think one of their songs talks about punching rapists in the face).
Just some off the top of my head. They're out there for sure.
What is my point. We have to hunt them down. There isn't many "household names" doing it. Knee cap and Vylan are more recent with their stuff due to BBC, which was great. They could be that sound.
I made a tidal playlist You might like. It has some new and old bands all in this genre.
Its designed to play in order.
Edit: its for me. I made it for me, so it might not work for your head but it puts me in a state that I need sometimes.
Thanks but seeing what people think. Most of the songs I listen to.
