Protest songs in Genre

LOOKING AT PROTEST SONGS

A protest song is a song that is associated with a movement for social change and hence part of the broader category of topical songs (or songs connected to current events). It may be folk, classical, or commercial in the genre. It could tackle any problem. 
Here are some of the most common world issues tackled by protest songs;
- Homosexual rights
- Black rights movement
- Female rights
- Politics

I find the songs most memorable when they have an interesting music video with them. It gives the viewer more real and interesting footage, that will stay in their heads.

My favourite protest songs so far are;
- This is America -- Childish Gambino
- Sunday, Bloody Sunday -- U2
- Where is the Love -- Black Eyed Peace
- One day -- bakermat

This concept, combined with cool costumes, quick editing and an interesting storyline will att
