muzzled musicians

"Muzzled musicians" refers to artists or performers who are restricted from expressing their true ideas, opinions, or creative impulses. This suppression can be due to external pressures like government censorship, corporate interests, or social norms that limit their freedom to communicate honestly through their music. As a result, their artistic freedom is curtailed, potentially impacting the authenticity, diversity, and social influence of their work. Essentially, it describes musicians who are silenced or constrained from fully sharing their perspectives, whether by formal restrictions or unintended societal forces.
