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 just want angry punk to have a major comeback
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.
They are not on your side. That’s why punk and hardcore is a thing and “pop” is garbage
Check out Jesse Welles (@hellswelles). Kind of a modern Bob Dylan.
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 assuming you’re talking about the US leadership? Eminem has been putting out music critical of every (2) Republican president since getting big.
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.
Using this as a place to infodump because I just learned it: you know how haikus follow a 5-7-5 syllable pattern? For corridos every line is 8 syllables.
The more you know 🌈⭐️
thanks!
This one is a solid earworm:

Neathan Apollo did one :3
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.
There are, maybe look for different genres
There were a lot of protest songs about Iraq and then it just seemed to fizzle out
They value not being a target. Their sponsors definitely value not being a target.
