A recent survey of my university showed that the majority of students would vote conservative. Our generation doesnt care - doesnt care about politics OR music and certainly doesnt care about the relationship between the two.. they just want a comfy easy life with some catchy background music to listen to. The fact that its not in the mainstream is nothing to worry about.. NOTHING good is in the mainstream - whether its in music, politics, art etc.. so get used to it.

I personally think its dusgusting that young people dont care about things like this... we're in a very important period in time, we need to act on climate change for example - yet there is not one environmental activist group in my uni. However there are groups out there, and there are lots of bands out there with strong political views AND awesome music.. if theyre not on our doorstep then we just need to work a little harder to support them.
