Protest Music

Protest music is a socially and politically charged genre that uses lyrics and melodies to challenge oppression, injustice, and systemic issues. Rooted in folk, rock, hip-hop, and world music, it often blends traditional sounds with modern influences to highlight resistance and cultural identity. Artists in this genre address themes like political corruption, human rights, war, and freedom, frequently drawing from their regional histories and struggles. Whether through poignant storytelling, powerful anthems, or satire, protest music serves as a voice for marginalized communities and a call to action against injustice worldwide.
