Postmodern Music

Hey guys, I need some examples of postmodern music, in which society/humanity is criticized in some way.
Good example is Where Is The Love - Black Eyed Peas.
If you all could help me find more songs with significant messages like this that would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Edit: sorry put it in the wrong section by accident

Macklemore has some pieces that tackle real-world problems such as Same Love (same-sex marriage) and Wing$ (targeting consumerism) and One Tribe - Black Eyed Peas dealt with how humans are all basically the same and that we should be uniting under one banner.

Wouldn't really classify them as postmodern though.

Tool is always good for that sort of thing. MJK in general.

Radiohead too.
