Music and politics

take someone like run the jewels for instance

killer mike, pretty decent artist but fucking dumb world view.

what happens when the politics start to get involved? does it discourage you from listening?

Doesn't bother me much since i'm not right leaning

fair enough

i'm very left wing and politics in music usually are too so i'm cool w it

I'm pretty left wing, good thing all the right wing musicians I can think of are shitty country singers so i never have to engage with their terrible music or politics.

Only if I pay attention to the lyrics. Being a non native english speaker has it's benefits, I can enjoy music for music and not for the bullshit politics

luckily listening to death grips allows for me to delve into some nice nihilism and not having to worry about the politics :^)

As a leftist who has studied political science I can be pretty certain in saying that a lot of musicians don't know what the fuck they're talking about when it comes to politics. That being said, I don't really care about political messages in music going either left or right wing, unless its very annoying.

I'm left wing, but I draw the line somewhere. Back when bands were anti-Bush it was reasonable. This all men are misogynist and white people are problematic shit is cancer.

doesn't bother me as a social liberal since we have all the best artists on our side.
