Because “Killing in the Name Of” is still relevant.
Take a Bow by Muse works almost too perfectly, too
some of those that work forces
Big popular artist are probably pretty controlled in what the money lets them do. More independent artist are making the songs.
Big artists are performing clowns for monopoly capitalists.
This. Especially these morons rapping about "the Man keeping them down" when they're literally working FOR "the man" and they're covered in gold bling. Congratulations. You just made a bunch of rich, white record executives even richer, while doing NOTHING for the people you claim to care about.
Macklemore has a couple.
This isn't the 90's or 00's. Rebellion against the system is no longer the "cool" theme for artists to make money on.
I mean, not yet. Give it a few months.
Big artists benefit too much from the system. People seem to give passes to the rich they like, but they're all our enemies. No amount of good they could possibly do would offset the support and participation they provide to this machine of destruction.
Check out Jesse Welles (@hellswelles). Kind of a modern Bob Dylan.
I'm assuming you're talking about the US leadership? Eminem has been putting out music critical of every (2) Republican president since getting big.
They are signed with labels and are not allowed.
Lowkey and Macklemore have stepped up though
It's funny how Macklemore's redemption for humiliating Kendrick Lamar is humiliating Kendrick Lamar again.
Kendrick was a massive disappointed. Fakest rapper alive trying to diss Drake instead of speaking out againdt a genocide.
Gaza has ripped the mask off everyone.
I'm surprised at the lack of folk songs about Luigi
Here you go. There are a number of 'corrido de luigi' songs out there.
This one is a solid earworm:
Neathan Apollo did one :3
There are, maybe look for different genres
They are not on your side. That's why punk and hardcore is a thing and "pop" is garbage
Record companies are just big corporate conflomerates, who dont want to make waves, and they control the artists' output.
Any Resistance Music is going to come from truly independent artists, and we should do everything we can to promote them.
They value not being a target. Their sponsors definitely value not being a target.
There don't have to be any protest songs. The message could be carried by another medium.
I also think right now that there is a period of uncertainty and intimidation going on. No industry wants to step into the limelight speaking up against the magas for fear of direct reprisals from the government or from those who really like it or having their attorneys targeted. So maybe the big kahunas of the music industry are less inclined to publish protest songs when they know an orange sh!tstorm will come their way when they do.
It may also be too early for any protest song to be written, recorded, and to have gained enough traction for anyone to notice.
I've heard of one big protest song by a pretty mainstream artist which didn't autofill on youtube when I just searched for it and was apparently buried. I wonder how many other songs were buried.
Pretty sure Eminem did like 8 years ago, the first time.
because they're rich and don't want to alienate any portion of people that make them more rich? Also they aren't even slightly inconvenienced by the changes in policy.
Artists reciprocating the feelings of the people is a thing of the past.
This depends on how you discover music. Usually radio or top lists don't cover major political issues since it makes half their audience angry. Also it can take a bit to get a song written, recorded, mixed, mastered and released in most cases.
Im into metal and there are some artists that release amazing protest songs
Fox lake
- savior
Fit for an autopsy
- flat lining
- no man is without fear
Thy art is murder
- holy war
- make America hate again
Acrania
- dissolution in a discordant system
Here’s a good one:
