It seems to me that popular music had become more and more about nothing at all.

I was a kid at the end of the cold war and I have notived that popular music back then was pretty political compared to now.

The 90's had a heap of anti-society music.

Now its mostly about nothing. I dont believe generation Y is in control of their pop culture at all. I hear some stuff that means something but not much.

If a kid dares to be upset about anything these days they are called an "emo" or something.

I wish there was more music that was critical of society instead of all this stuff that endorses it.

Cold War music was good.

This film clip made me lose some sleep as a kid (:

Got something to do with young men killing each other I believe.

I thought music started to suck in the 90s...few exceptions - Bruce of course (but he had arguably some of his worst moments). U2, REM, Pearl Jam and Nirvana were about it I reckon..
As for 2000 and beyond...not much happening at all. Have huge shit fights with my sons in the car, them wanting to listen to repetitive crap...
