Eh, there’s some pretty famous examples of pop music being political. Weirdly, the most recent example I can think of off the top of my head is Green Day’s American Idiot, which had a couple tracks that were pretty political. I will say that it’s probably been a straight decline in pop music being political since the ‘60s.

I thought green day was a punk rock band. Like the offspring.

Both are pop punk in my book. Green Day are pretty mainstream by the time you get to 2004

Punk rock =/= pop punk

American Idiot will be 20 years old when September comes.
