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 ?
Millennials failed by not being born in the 50’s. I think you’re making an assumption that newer generations took over politically from Boomers and The Silent Generation, but that shift never occurred. We failed at political change because we never had the same political, social, and economic power as Boomers.
This is the correct answer.
And as Boomers are slowly getting older, even they now see that they need a successor. So they look at… GenZ.
I slowly realize us GenX and Millenials are just some sort of placeholder generation.
Gen X are the Trumpers.

No wonder Kurt ate a shotgun rather than be a part of y’all
Kurt might have supported Trump. He was not a sensitive artist opposed to capitalism.
Are you fucking high? His suicide note spefically calls out capitalism and its impact on making art.
Nope, has it ever occurred to you how full of shit Cobain was? He wasn’t a leftist by any standard. Go ask his wife.
Not high? Then you are just stupid. Good to know.
Don’t bother replying. I won’t read it. I have enough morons spouting bullshit on the TV and in the news.
Agree. This guy should go back to Reddit. I’ve been here for a few weeks and he’s actually the first aggressive asshole I’ve seen, so at least that’s something.
