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?

What kind of "statements" does classical music make? For me instrumental music just sounds nice, or it doesn't. No statement involved.

Classical music had plays attached to them. They 100% made political statements for their times.
