i dont think theres been 'deep' political engagement in popular music since the 60s/70s but what about hip hop in the 80s/90s? (mostly racial politics there, but still)

Our culture is heightening young people’s awareness of millennial ideals – of how we think our lives should be – while simultaneously eroding the resources we need to achieve those dreams.
Subcultures don't seem to congregate around music anymore; whereas that was the case for most youth subcultures before (mods, rockers, skinheads, hippies, punks, goths, b boys, etc.).
According to Robert Elms none of that was actually about music, it was all about trousers.
she seems to think everyone spent the nineties was drunk
