FAQ About The Role of Music in Political Protest Movements
Why do protest movements often use songs from popular artists?
Protest movements often use songs from popular artists because these songs already have significant reach and emotional impact, making them effective at attracting attention and conveying messages to a wide audience. These artists often have established credibility and fan bases that can help amplify the movement’s cause. Furthermore, popular music’s resonance within mainstream culture can help destigmatize and legitimize the protest message.
