>song is political
I can't be alone in thinking that politics in music is just dumb, right? Maybe it is just because I am a politically literate adult and logical so "political music" in all forms just comes off as propaganda to me, but clearly people get something out of it. What say out?

All songs are political in some sense, even if it means just following norms. sometimes it's better to just be out in the open than be insidious and subversive.

Refusing to define things doesn't make you intelligent.
Political songs are my favorite. Music should depict the world it comes from it shouldn't be divorced from the issues of society.

It should be natural. It should come about from an artist communicating their personal struggles. But most of the time it's people being cringey, either because they are just completely uninformed, "edgy," or conspiracy theorists.
