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?

This is my whole point. Is streaming and music apps killing the massive songs like "Luke's Wall / War Pigs" , "Ohio", or "My Generation"?

I saw a report talking about if there's a "song of the summer" this year. A lot of people said there isn't because more than ever we're siloed to our own music library/playlists.

Personally, I spend a few hours a week actually looking for new artists to listen to. There's so much music out there just waiting to be discovered.

I do the same thing and have discovered some great music. However, over the months or years I seem to return to classics to rage out or have a statement song. Go to a protest and you will hear " This is America" or "Sympathy for the Devil".

I'm just wondering if this generation will have their song or is there to many bands? Can a band cut through it all and still make something like those songs?

Maybe I'm the old man screaming at the clouds.

It's just the internet making all media available, and streaming is the lowest friction way of giving people that access.
