i'm so stuck on this... i've been waiting for pop culture to start protesting. its the best way to wake up the millenials, and the ones who are in post secondary. look at all the views.. non-political people are discussing it... wow, eh?

protest songs had such a big impact in the '60s, and the music of a huge movement of peaceful people demanding social changes.. i've been waiting for a long time to see a similar movement pop up -- a bigger movement.. this is a good start. this is a hella viral video, so its made its rounds to most people under 30 for sure.

need more genuine protest songs. I really think its totally needed.. our society is so connected to pop culture and social media... you would think that artists who truly care about the state of the US and her democracy would create music to wake people up.. and use social media to spread it........just not that bandwagon bullshit that bands like nickelback produce. *barf*

young people are overworked, paid like shit, and they are complacent about it. they are scraping by enough to pay bills, buy weed, a couple cool tops, and eat ramen noodles and on-the-go meals. they won't pay attention to issues until it affects them directly. they are very distracted. soooooo distracted.
