It seems quite contradictary to be damning the music industry as overtly woke when it has been used as one of the most substantial vehicle to oppose all kinds of social injustice with mass music and youth rebellions in the form of blues, punk, reggae, ska which persists into many youth cultures now which as oldies are not really aware of.
Not sure if we are moaning about the fact that a true protest music movement cannot break through any more due to an anadyne music industry or whether we have created a culture that is not toxic enough to spark a wider rebellious music movement?! But as Scum says there are some great rebel acts making great music, albeit not in a mass youth movement as was recognised with the above movements.
Circa Waves definitely look to have edge about them songs good as well.
So are yous saying we need music that means and stands for something, without being soft..? I recommend Bob Vylan. Not for the faint hearted. Broke a stage when I saw em in summer
