Music Banter - View Single Post - Why don't the current mainstream pop stars care about social issues?

Macklemore is a pretty big name. I guess you could say that many pop songs are inspirational and speak out for individuality, but don't specify a single people group.

edit: I suppose that could be considered a lazy way of them being "inclusive" to all social issues, as if they focus on some and not others, it can be used against them. The social climate has changed since the 60s and 70s when social turmoil fueled the music industry.
