Jello Biafra started out as an angry and class conscious but vague "anarchish" punk. went on to be a kind of generic 90s type anti-globalization socdem running with the green party. today on his vlog… okay he still has many radical ideas, that's nice. but he is a total russiagater these days!

Basically all punk rock. I used to fully enjoy it when i was 15, but since i'm no longer an anarchist or "nihilist" it kinda makes me cringe now. I still think it's a brilliant genre somehow, and it accompanies me when i feel angry or sad, but it depends on the band.

They are Zionist liberals who have a suspicious amount of songs glorifying the Nazi army, but maybe they've moved on from that to become just Zionist libs.
I once read that they made a song about a topic related to communists, and it was criticized by people from that country defending the communist(s). And from then on, they've tried to not write songs about moral ambiguity to avoid controversy, or something like that. Unfortuantely I can't find that interview.

Still, many of their songs slap although they are shit, but they're fun shit

>At this time other well-known rock musicians also made inflammatory statements, including David Bowie who expressed support for fascism and admiration for Adolf Hitler in interviews with Playboy, NME and a Swedish publication. Bowie was quoted as saying: "I think Britain could benefit from a fascist leader. After all, fascism is really nationalism… I believe very strongly in fascism, people have always responded with greater efficiency under a regimental leadership." He was also quoted as saying: "Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars" and "You've got to have an extreme right front come up and sweep everything off its feet and tidy everything up."[5] Bowie caused further controversy by allegedly making a Nazi salute while riding in a convertible, although he has always strongly denied this, insisting that a photographer simply caught him in the middle of waving.[6] He later retracted and apologised for his statements,[citation needed] blaming them on a combination of an obsession with occultism and Friedrich Nietzsche, as well as his excessive drug use at the time. He said: "I have made my two or three glib, theatrical observations on English society and the only thing I can now counter with is to state that I am NOT a fascist."[5]

Look at the lyrics

>I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
>I found that just surviving was a noble fight
>I once believed in causes too
>I had my pointless point of view
>And life went on no matter who was wrong or right

It's so defeatist. It's like the song says just give up. Stop trying and just accept the capitalist system.

>But his honor is pure and his courage as well
>And he's fair and he's true and he's boring as hell
>And he'll go to the grave as an angry old man
>There's a place in the world for the angry young man
>With his working class ties and his radical plans
>He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl
>He's always at home with his back to the wall
>And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost
>And he struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross
>And he likes to be known as the angry young man

Demonization of somebody who fights for a better world
Boring, Grumpy

Just shut up and survive, Don't think

I think most well off rock stars or whatever are just sick of people and things relating to people. They have people to deal with that. That's what drives me the most insane, ozzy sings the biggest anti war song in music history and he just sits on the money.

That's kinda hilarious ngl. I personally forgive him. I wish contemporary artists read more philosophy.

I don't know if any artist I know has extraordinary shit takes. I don't really like Kanye as much as other people do, but he gets a pass on accounts or having tremendously low IQ.

When dancing was a thing I used to listen to reggaeton. Some of the shit said there is wild. It's changing though. Like it or not, the major artists like Bad Bunny, Ozuna, J Balvin are changing the usual lyrical trash content of reggeaton. Bad bunny, the most important reggeaton artist of the second wave, even put out a really good trans validation video, "Yo perreo sola".

Even the techno I listen to seems to be non-insane right wingers.

very label, much wow
>The song was included as a track on the March 1970 Psychedelic Shack album, which featured the title track as its only single. The track's direct message, summarized by its chorus ("War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!"), struck a chord with the American public and resonated with growing public opposition to the war in Vietnam. Fans from across the country, many of them college students and other young people, sent letters to Motown requesting the release of "War" as a single. The label did not want to risk the image of its most popular male group, and the Temptations themselves were also apprehensive about releasing such a potentially controversial song as a single. The label decided not to release "War" as a single, a decision that Whitfield fought until the label came up with a compromise: "War" would be released, but it would have to be re-recorded with a different act.

>During this time period, mandatory army service had recently ended in Britain but with the Vietnam War raging, many young men feared they'd be conscripted to fight in it. "That's what started this whole rebellion thing about not going to war for anybody", said Butler. "I was dreading being called up", the lyricist recalled.
>Prior to its official release, the band often altered the lyrics significantly when performing it live. An example of this can be found on Ozzy Osbourne's compilation The Ozzman Cometh, which features an early version recorded by Black Sabbath for BBC Radio 1 on 26 April 1970. While Butler has said that "War Pigs" is "totally against the Vietnam War, about how these rich politicians and rich people start all the wars for their benefit and get all the poor people to die for them", vocalist Osbourne has stated that the group "knew nothing about Vietnam. It's just an anti-war song."

>Never got into Mecano, despite being gay.
I only got into them a few years ago after finding an old tape and realizing that I love old synth/technopop (which is a kind of sound that's more noticeable in their early albums). If you don't like that genre, maybe that's why you don't like 'em? Although, to be fair, I already liked some of their songs when I was little.
On the other hand, their more popular songs are from later albums, most notably Entre el cielo y el suelo, and boring/overrated as fuck compared to their earlier music, imo. If you like synthpop, perhaps you've only listened to their later stuff.

It'd be easier to name the few that don't have entirely dumb or nonexistent political positions. I don't expect musicians to know anything about anything, except maybe how to express their emotions musically I guess.

With film however it's a different story because the film's ideology is more "in your face". In that case I even prefer pointless films that are just pure aesthetics over yet another regurgitation of what the authors read about "social issues" or "politics" in their preferred MSM.

He's done songs and videos about the struggle of poor immigrants. He did a video supporting Assange. Stuff like that. I'd say he's very class conscious, but is missing the vocabulary to make it radical.
