I was listening to this 21 year old song today and it got me wondering: were some of the lyrics a prediction of what has happened since then? I know very little about most of the subjects below nor am I offering my opinion on them...

The rave is over - in honesty, rave was a thing of the past by the time this song was released, but still...
Men are over, women are over - gender identity
