Unfortunately, none of it is happening on the US pop charts as it once was. We went through an entire Trump presidency with no memorable protest song in the mainstream realm. And artists were not happy about that president. I don't think Twitter is nearly as powerful but I'm afraid that's where the ire is being expressed. In an echo chamber. The last protest song I remember in popular culture was "Megalomaniac" by Incubus. It was a powerful song with a stunning music video that got heavy rotation from Mtv. Where are the mainstream hip-hop songs speaking up against Trump and the landscape he's left behind? People were so outraged about George Floyd's death but all Cardi B wanted to talk about was her wet-ass pussy.
