Political animals

[mrph]

Hmm. Just thinking...

When did the last traces of politics and social commentary slip out of goth/industrial? (I don't think they were ever in synthpop...:)

And do we want them back? Looking back, there were elements of that there quite early on - SoM's Valentine, and every other NMA song, for starters.

But that was the eighties. Things were different then - you could do that sort of thing without being dismissed as a crank with an agenda, because everyone else was doing it too. But not these days...?
