I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.
Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?
Who’s that lady that wrote the folk song “It’s not going away”? There are like three or four folk groups and troubadours writing protest songs for tiktok. Mon Rovia with Heavy Foot, Jesse Welles with The Poor, stuff like that.
Taylor Swift sorta got under Trump’s skin, but she’s not particularly political.
Ypu had me up until Swift.lol I’ll check the others out though. Jesse Welles has been mentioned a few times now.
Nothing wrong with Swift, but she’s not a political though-leader. Best I can tell, the conservative vitriol has more to do with misogyny than any particular message she’s putting out into the world.
She’s good but her music is very polished for sales not thought provoking.
