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?
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.
