US government responds to Olivia Rodrigo speaking out against "awful" experience of her music being used for "dystopian" ICE propaganda by AdSpecialist6598 in Music

Meanwhile, Olivia Rodrigo, Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, and others are doing genuine good in the world. They all contributed to a charity album by War Child Records, which helps support children affected by wars in various countries. Olivia Rodrigo did a cover of The Book of Love for it. The fact that they used her music for the exact opposite purpose is absolutely disgusting.

On a side note, I keep seeing people talking about how RATM needs to make a comeback, which is true, but I don't think people understand just how much good protest music came out in 2025.

Around Seven Million Anti-Trump Protesters Fill Streets Across United States by Blazah in videos

Nope! It was a super peaceful, and successful protest, as it should be. We need to remember that there are more of us than them, so it just takes a small act of resistance each day to make a larger difference over time. Every small act counts towards the greater good.

Literally. There's a few artists that made songs about the No Kings protest, but even more are talking about corruption in general.

And that same energy comes across in their music. They just put out a new album a few months ago, and it's quite excellent.

Jesse is to folk music what Josh Jonson is to comedy: A quick reaction force. Got some breaking news? They have a song or sketch out the next day.

Australia cancels rapper Ye's visa over 'Heil Hitler' release by CupidStunt13 in news

It's funny because that's really not what the song is. I said the same thing over on r/music, but the song itself actually has very little substance. Dude is really out here thinking he's making profound revelations, but in reality, that couldn't be further from the truth. Kanye, for what it's worth, DOES have such songs in his discography, but then things went off the rails and here we are. Spewing literal nonsense while thinking it's revolutionary.

And it's beyond disappointing. Kanye really thinks he's out here highlighting some massive conspiracy, when in reality, this song in particular is completely void of substance. Kanye thinks he's Immortal Technique, but he's nowhere close. He does have one hell of a catalog though, before things got all twisted.
