I think a possibility with pop music too is that in general it's bought by a much younger crowd, and they simply don't want to know about or don't care about social issues in their music. If it's not Facebook or Twitter or something that matters to them, in general, they don't seem to want it in their music. I'm sure if politically-charged themes and world consciousness was what the masses wanted, the artistes would be told/encouraged to go in that direction, but kids just want music to dance to, they don't want really to have to think about it, and what the public wants, the public gets. Whatever sells, ya know?
