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?

Bob Vylan?

His music is good but I wouldn't say the same level. Give him a few more years.

Speaking as someone who's been into Nirvana and RatM since the early '90s, there's more anger and protest in 'We Live Here' than in the entirety of Nirvana's catalogue.

Bob Vylan - We Live Here

Sure, Nirvana were angry, but mostly in a depressed, teenage way, lashing out at an unfair world. They were angry on a personal level, mostly. Bob Vylan are angry on a social level, in the way RatM were. They're demanding the world look at the inequality they see, rallying us to take it on board and do something about it.

If that isn't protest, then I don't know what it is you're looking for.

Nirvana was depressed rage but it also tought a who generation about the evils of capitalism. It sparked a new style of music and it did it within a 4 year period. Nothing against Vylans but they became noteworthy due to a chant. I feel they can be a voice for this generation but they need a little bit more time and a global hit.

It's a duo. Bobby Vylan and Bobbie Vylan.

Thought it was just named after the singer. My bad

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago
