I think all artists in one way or another are a product of the society they live in and reflect this consciously or subconsciously. Maybe an artist plays their sax,for example,more strongly or softly, subconsciously, to reflect their internal view of society. Or an artist may consciously write lyrics bemoaning society or showing the beauty of something they have experienced, which reflects their feelings. If musicians today were to reflect society I feel the music would have to be turbulent and as pryso said , discord and i add, dissonance.
