I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.

Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?

casual Muse fan and listened to a few RATM songs, I guess? Muse still do political songs but even their old songs isn't as charged as RATM old songs. That's the era where when they were smaller they'd be more daring is my reasoning for that comparison.

When Muse returned to perform in Malaysia on the WOTP tour, heard rumors that they took out We Are Fucking Fucked upon request. But even when I fainted for the last 4 songs listening back to the setlist that song doesn't seem to fit IMO

edit: I'd l0ve to explore TikTok musicians but the problem is they're on TikTok. still holding on not making an account there
