I’m a zoomer and I’ve probably got ADHD, and I’ve read my share of theory, but I understand why it’s hard for some people. Would it be a good idea to intertwine music with political education? I like genres that try to fill my insatiable appetite for stimulation like nu-metal, hyper-pop and phonk. I feel like a lot of overtly political music can come off as cheesy and not one’s kind of music, so it might appeal to some people to incorporate other genres. Might it keep people’s attention more to say have nightcore Engels? What if we just put some bass and distorted guitar under an audiobook. If people don’t have the attention span for that maybe a phonk beat for a banger quote?
Would anyone else be interested in working on this or see value in it? I currently lack the hardware and skill, but I could learn.
Choking Victim/Leftover Crack included Parenti quotes in some of their tracks, and it was the first I was exposed to him. There's some good examples of political songs from groups like Propagandhi and Daniel Kahn and the Painted Bird (very different musically).
It's an idea I've already been kicking around, albeit in other genres, but I am absolutely shit at songwriting (due to inexperience).
Ditto. That’s why I just want to use good quotes.
