I’ll start. System of a Down.

Recently it seems like some people are JUST NOW realizing that Bring me the horizon is not Christian friendly and I wonder how many other artists can we put into the bag of “Wait, they were political this whole time?”

    This thread has been reported to us. I’ve temporarily made the decision to keep it (other mods; feel free to override). While the question could have been phrased a hell of a lot better (“what are your favourite bands that people don’t get the real meaning of?”), its a valid question and doesn’t quite fall into the “offensive” rule.

    Community: please stay civil. The fact that a song can be political does not mean it is worth debating if it’s politics are correct. If discussion significantly devolves into personal attacks, bans will be issued regardless of partisanship.

      Off topic: I love how clear you are in your articulation. I wish to develop this skill some day . If you don’t mind me asking, how would one develop such a skill?

        I must confess that you’re the first person to tell that to me — English class was always a disaster! The only thing I can point to is practice: I have a blog here that I write at regularly. The other component might be luck? They say that a broken clock is right twice a day and I’m inclined to agree.

        In any case, thank you!

      What do you mean? They’re just songs about nice things, like bringing your own beer to a party, jumping on a pogo stick and shimmying until the break of dawn, yeah. Oh, and cocaine. Lots of cocaine.

    You g… got a pen? Write this down:

    Jazz for appreciating pro instrumentalists

    EDM for work out

    Classical for relaxing, getting job done

    WHY. DO. THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR. (Repeat a dozen or so times)

    Sorry but no way they are non political. That’s just one example from a more well known song. Haven’t they publicly spoken on the Armenian genocide, too? If you need to separate your art from your politics, perhaps you should re review your politics. It’s inherent in most aspects of life.

    As a country fan you don’t really expect much from modern country singers so sturgill Simpson might be a good pick.

    I remember a while back he was snubbed from the CMAs so he busked outside of the event and called trump a “fascist fucking pig” while taking donations for the ACLU.

    Wait. You said “non political music” (as if that were a thing) and then you say SoaD???! Please read their lyrics. They are full of politics. From war protests to the Armenian genocide to anti-science and pseudo-science weirdness.

    Music is always political.

    Green Day for sure. Although I did recently see a conservative post online, “when did Green Day start singing about politics,” so maybe they’ve gotten political…
