Protest Songs: why do I feel like there were many more (and many more that were popular) in the 60’s and 70’s?

Definitely not fewer protest songs. Lots of “new” protest genres exist now (punk, rock, rap, hiphop, reggae, still folk, etc.). Radio and television are way less relevant for reaching « protest » audiences (generally younger). Without the risk of conscription into a foreign war, the anti classist/racist/authoritarian protest likely sounds different.

The times, they are a-changing(but not much)
