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?

Before those, in the 60's there was CSNY, CCR, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Buffalo Springfield writing protest bangers.

Can't really think of much for this generation unfortunately. Instead we have, uh... Ye. :(

Ye definitly pulled for someone ๐Ÿซณ

They don't have hitler symbols

[โ€“] jsomae@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I still don't get it. Who doesn't have hitler symbols? Why is that relevant?

[โ€“] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ye spoke for a generation while praising hitler and Trump. Not sure if you knew that.

Well that's why I said "instead we have, uh..." and a frowny face. It was sarcasm, but I guess it didn't come through.
