perhaps you've only listened to the wrong stuff?
listen to burnt friedman or any doctor rockit release (for example),
might not be socially challenging like public enemy or the clash,
but it most definately is musically challenging.
and if you're looking for records to overthrow governments, then i'm
sad to say that you're not going to find anything in this white, male
middleclass musical landscape of IDM.
i wouldn't consider genres to be about attitudes.
pop isn't an attitude as little as jazz.
and roni size is as little jazz as lexaunculpt is pop.
whatever nme journalists or "enlightened" listmembers say.
and pop music isn't the opposition of challenging
