Possibly true. I think that may also reflect todays youth disaffection with Politics in general. Its not all rosy out there, witness the reliance on soup kitchens, high youth unemployment, bedroom taxes, illegal wars, phone hacking etc. Where is todays rebellious youth??
I heard a good explanation for this. Billy Bragg suggested that music often reflects, and is written about, what is going on in society. He wrote about the miners strike, it inspired him. As there is less activism these days this is reflected in less songs about politics. A fair point I think.
