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?
When did their music get so political?

It is something I’ve seen asked.
Most people don’t pay attention to lyrics at all, and don’t have the literacy skills to try to understand them.
That’s true and quite unfortunate, but to be fair Anti-Flag was still fairly popular from what I understand, and their lyrics are much more politically charged.
I think Rage Against The Machine just doesn’t grab the same way, at least for me personally.
