The problem is that most pop artists just aren't resourceful enough as writers to make "music with meaning" without flubbing it up by getting too preachy or by having a far too tacit of an understanding of the issues they're trying to combat within a three to four minute runtime.
It's always been this way. From "Imagine" to "Dear Mr. President" to "Hard Out Here"

I don't think that's anything special. If a forum mostly discusses X then it's logical to open up a specific thread about Y since it's discussed less frequently.
