Protest songs

[eggsarascal]

What happened to them?

 

In the 80's and Ninties there were groups that wrote/sang protest songs about the current situation.

 

It would be a field day ATM for those bands.

Is this just for the 80s and 90s as they go back long before that ??

No, not at all. I was just trying to get an understanding of what Alex is working on.

They're mostly rooted in libertarian/anarchist ideology. Sometimes it's a struggle to comport and rhyme lyrics about the evolution of commodity market economies into the bimetallic and, later, fiat money systems. Sometimes you get lucky and it works. I also do like to think I'm one of a very small cadre who has written a rap metal track that includes nods to both Tony Martin shooting thieves and the Manchester and Salford Yeomanry killing a child at the Peterloo massacre of 1819.

 

It's a work in progress.

"This Land is Your Land"

Is 2009 too old?

(I'm aware it's an older song).

For those of a dnb persuasion.

Also in dnb/metal, Zardonic has a pretty consistent message.
