Personally I think the last/current 'angry young man' is Roughton Reynolds of Enter Shikari. Their previous album Common Dreads, drew from the invasion of Iraq and the subsequent political shenanigans. The current album rails against political corruption, the rich/poor divide, the oil trade and other issues facing normal people today.
Well worth a listen. Seeing as the album got to no.4, a lot of people are hearing Shikari's message!
Truckstop
Edit: common dreads reached no.3 in the album charts and they are signed by Atlantic records. So maybe the problem is is that most protest music is rubbish!

I went to see them last month and I think their messages are falling on deaf ears, the room was full of sweaty, topless teenage boys who seemed more interested in grappling each other than listening to them play.
