Vietnam was a war fought by both the middle class and the lower class. Wars since then have been fought by those with too few resources to do much else. Including taking music lessons. So the music of the middle class will have no anti-war music because the middle class did not fight those wars. There will likely be more anti-war music in the fringes of society. In addition, advertising on TV and radio is sold to the middle class, because duh!, that's where the money is.
