Protest music.

[Spree]

I got introduced to protest music last night, and I have found that I like it alot.
Any suggestions?

[Scythe]

That's pretty unspecific. Protest music isn't really a genre like rock, etc. so it's not all going to sound similar.

Having said that, KMFDM sound pretty good, and I think a lot of their stuff could be called protest.

What was the music you were introduced to? So.. we have an idea what else to suggest.

Edit:

OOOOOOOOPs!! I just saw (after posting) that this is the "Teens" forum.. (sorry)

[Spree]

like anti gov ect. I found a band called Anti-flag which is awsome, last night some dude told me to look up a band from the UK called Zounds, which is great (late 70's early 80's)

ect.

Neil Young. 60's/70's protest music is the best, because it still applies to now, if you interchange a couple words here and there...

Propagandhi; Earth Crisis; Defiance, Ohio; Immortal Technique

All very radical bands/artists from the top of my head. Propagandhi is a bunch of vegan political punks, Earth Crisis is a band of militant vegan straight edge hardcore kids, Defiance, Ohio is a folk punk band of anarchists, and Immortal Technique is an Afro-Peruvian socialist rapper who talks about CIA operations in South America, racism in the US, and general troubles of poverty and such. All great music.

Check out anarcho-punk, hardcore and metalcore. A lot of that is political, too many bands to name.

thanks for the tip, helped alot.

I LOVE OTEP! Look up their song Confrontation. It owns!

Rage Against the Machine :rockon:

Spree, you may want to have this thread moved to a non-teen forum, there are a ton of folks on here who are not teens but have a lot of protest experience/eclectic musical tastes.

(My current favorite 'protest' song is "Dear Mr. President' By Pink and the Indigo Girls. It's fairly mainstream but it's still kick arse!)

[Jeremy]

Whoops looks like I've done it again. Posting in a forum I shouldn't be posting in... Michael should bring back the different colour scheme for the teen and women's forum.

IMMORTAL TECH. whoever suggested that ****ing rules.
rage against the machine. propagandhi. old old against me! (reinventing axl rose). bad brains, old bad religion, blasted mechanism!!!!!!, le tigre, choking victim, leftover crack.

world trade towers with gas pumps on the side? yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Faceinthecrowd]

Bob Dylan has to mentioned here, he basically invented Protest Music. Some Bright Eyes songs also come to mind.

[Kenickie]

[aoxfordca]

rage against the machine

[Tuffenoughtoroc]

Skinny Puppy, Rise Against, KMFDM, Against Me, Ohgr, System of a Down, Maria Daines. These are among my favorites.

Phil Ochs is a really cool protest singer/songwriter from the 1960s. If you like Bob Dylan, you'll like him.

I endorse this list wholeheartedly other than Rage Against The Machine.

In other news, I was so sad when Against Me! sold out so spectacularly.

At least bands like This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb and Defiance, Ohio still exist.
