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 ?
This quote isn’t even relevant anymore. Maybe it was when republicans were pro-business, pro- fiscal conservancy, pro strong defense, and when family values meant family values, but where are those republicans?
Those policy questions are no longer relevant. Even Republicans no longer bring them up as goals (I’ll believe mitt Romney on family values but he retired). Todays Regressives are authoritarian, corrupt, isolationist bullies, out to fleece the government and their constituents, and vent their frustrations on whatever group they can call out as “other”.
You’re probably talking about the US?
Yes, sorry
