Weeks 10-12

PoMo
Question 5

After looking through my iPod and putting the question to my friends on Facebook I’ve some up with a few songs/raps that I would consider as a protest one, that have come out in about the last decade.

I would say that there is still a spirit of protest but it’s in a different form to that of the past. I think today people are more concerned with confidence and being yourself/expressing yourself not necessarily political issues. If they are they aren’t the songs that are chosen to be aired on mass media, kept only for those who buy the albums. I was also trying to think of Musicals and books and movies that are protest like. The Hunger Games I think would fall into the category, but other than that I can’t really think of any others, well that I have heard of or read/watched.
