I think that the tornness creates the music as is. It makes it a marketable good, as it speaks to the torn people out there. It does not so much provide answers, but share the sentiment.
I don't know if they could express as musicians something else. I am pretty sure it would actually impact their commercial success if they really tried to do so. I don't think most of the audience is making the same change, even if Tool did.* The Smashing Pumpkins play in the background on a festival *
Lisa Simpson: It may be bleak, but this music is really getting to the crowd.
Bart simpson: Eh, making teenagers depressed is like shooting fish in a barrel.
Or the other way round - it took me a decade since then to make the choice away from negativity. It takes a conscious choice at some point.
Until then:
