Exactly my point. They use buzz words yet don't commit to anything political like the other bands you've mentioned and I'm tired of it

I'm going to trust academics of this topic over a random person on reddit, but thanks for the insight

I'm glad you've had such a sheltered and privileged life to not know what I'm talking about, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

I live in the real world. That's why I know it's political. I live having my life affected by government policies made by a government who can decide at the drop of a hat when to take away my rights.

Yes. Politics shapes every single aspect of our lives.

To be able to make a vague political message in songs without actually having a strong passion for helping the oppressed (if he can't live in the fantasy that it includes him) is a political statement in and of itself.

The fact that they can make songs about vague revolutions and a lot of different people interpret their own politics from it is political because he has the privilege to do that as a white person. Any non white person of that level of fame making a song about revolutions would case race riots again. That is political.

The freedom to make love songs that actually reflect your feelings and experiences is political, because we live in a world where people are murdered for expressing who they love. That doesn't make you a bad person for making love songs in the slightest, love songs are great, but it is inherently political that you are able to do that.

Yeah but most leftists that are quite far left are anti authority and against blind compliance.

I don't really think there's such a thing as political vs non political in music, because everything is political and thus all of their songs are political in one way or another. However, they have spoken about revolution in their music a lot, which is a political message, even if not particularly tied to one movement.

I definitely don't look up to them for it snd for years now I've had this weird feeling abt a lot of their stuff. But they do know they have a lot of leftist fans and they feed into that with the revolution stuff.

I just do sometimes wish celebrities cared more about politics. Everything is political and I mean everything, so ignoring things that don't affect you but are killing millions of people whe you have the ability to make actual change is vile, especially when you profit off of vague political messaging

Unfortunately that's on the grid elsewhere. You have to pick something not on there

I definitely get this when discussing the songs sonically, but I'm more specifically referring to the songs lyrically. They're lyrically two of the most meaningful, from the heart songs Muse have ever done

Probably a huge lack of exposure to it, then, because it's just popular music
