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 ?

    When did genx assume power?

    last I looked most politicians are still white-haired boomers.

        You JUST commented that we could see how genx is the same as boomers by looking at their track record when they take power.

        Then you state that genx never took power, and are insignificant.

        ???

          For all intents and purposes GenX and Boomers are the same generation.

          That goes for statistically and socially.

          ???

          Sorry if that offends you in some way.

            This is a take. Not a good take. But a take nonetheless.
