I find that politics arises in music when there is a need for it. The whole 80's punk thing happened when there was a dramatic shift from the left to the right in the UK & North America, so there was push back amongst many displaced youths.
I think if we see a continued trend of manufacturing jobs disappearing in North America to the point that you have an army of youths stuck in low paying Starbucks jobs...Your going to have a whole $HITLOAD of politics in music!
