If the original movement in the 70s was in response to political stagnation in the UK and the Vietnam war in the US. And the revival in the 00s in response to the US wars in the Middle East. Between Black Lives Matters, No Kings protests, and far right political parties recent win across the globe, where is the Punk movement? Where is the disenfranchised youth grinding out their anger on an electric guitar in an abandoned industrial building?

Edit: Thank you to everyone who suggested various artists. I’m going to check them all out!

The majority of kids under 30 are still focused on making enough money to have nice things. They were raised by parents (my generation) to think stuff is the answer to all life's problems. That is the majority of how people think in this day and age. The biggest issue amongst a lot of individuals is not having access to enough stuff (including traveling) to fill the gaping hole inside. Unfortunately, that hole is actually caused by a breakdown in community, family and communication. The kids aren't angry anymore, they are depressed.
