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 ?

    It’s a class war, not a generational one. Millennials have just as many rich jerks as any other generation.

      There is an element of generational conflict that is tied into the class war. Most Boomers have moved on from being labor to being on fixed income and capital returns.

        A bunch of assets millineals will never have. They are not aware of how pretentious they are with their retirement parties while they invite those who have no hopes of ever having one. It’s so frustrating. It’s like, yay, I’ll just come celebrate your pension and your lufe with goals while my generation plans a bullet for retirement.
