Political dynamics in music

Political dynamics in music refer to how music reflects, influences, or reacts to political issues and power structures. Artists often use their work to comment on social justice, inequality, or government actions, shaping public opinion and fostering movements. Genres like folk, punk, and hip-hop have historically given voice to marginalized communities, while government censorship can restrict artistic expression. Music can unite people in protests, serve as anthems for change, or even promote propaganda, demonstrating the powerful role it plays in political discourse and societal change.
