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?

This is my whole point. Is streaming and music apps killing the massive songs like "Luke's Wall / War Pigs" , "Ohio", or "My Generation"?

    I saw a report talking about if there's a "song of the summer" this year. A lot of people said there isn't because more than ever we're siloed to our own music library/playlists.

    Personally, I spend a few hours a week actually looking for new artists to listen to. There's so much music out there just waiting to be discovered.

    I do the same thing and have discovered some great music. However, over the months or years I seem to return to classics to rage out or have a statement song. Go to a protest and you will hear " This is America" or "Sympathy for the Devil".

    I'm just wondering if this generation will have their song or is there to many bands? Can a band cut through it all and still make something like those songs?

    Maybe I'm the old man screaming at the clouds.
