In the 90’s a lot of popular song were pretty political, remember Killing in the name of and even the skate pop-punk has pretty popular political song’s (Offspring, Blink Green-day). Actually political movies were also quite big in the 90’s/00’s (French Masterpiece La haine, or the whole work of Michael Moore).
I would expect to see that the people who were teens/young adult at the time would tackle all these issues 20-30 years latter when they’ll finally take the power and the reality is that everything got worse, than even talking about-it make you sound like a radical, and that the gen-X/Millennials totally failed to change something.
What happened ? and how did we fail ?
The “baby boom” (whence Boomers) was called that because it was a huge demographic spike that has given that birth cohort disproportionate political and cultural power ever since—and the generation most negatively impacted by that was the immediately-following Gen X. (Even now, after decades of an increasing mortality rate, Boomers still outnumber Gen X by about 8 million.)
Also GenX never showed up at the polls.
