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?

Expand your tastes, cousin. There's a lot of anti-war and angry music getting made right now.

Not the most recent, but how about this ABSOLUTE BANGER by The Coup?

Nice, this has soul. I don't like rap, but in this song is acceptable.

I'm talking more main stream. You couldn't turn on a radio without hearing those guys.

Yes, you can point to any period and say "they made statements".

Ren makes statements but has 2.4 mil followers on youtube. I'm talking a generation band /artist standing out in this period. Hearing Killing in the Name of playing daily, the music video was everywhere.

Your boy is good but you also pointed to a song from a decade ago which has 2.2 mil views.

My dude, no one listens to radio anymore, when you can have your own music with you on a device you carry around in your pocket all the time.

My dude, radio is just playlist and curated discover modes. A horse by a different name is still a horse.
