I listened to a lot of punk and hardcore growing up and have attributed a lot of my leftism to it. Admittedly, my parents have heavy socialist tendencies but I feel like bands put a good label on my principles and shit. Kind of helped me see past the scene through their lyrics and message.
Like, I wouldn’t have been out there saying “fuck cops” had not not been listening to 25 Ta Life or thinking “death to Amekkka” had I not blasted anti-flag on my Sony Walkman
I dunno. I’m high as hell
I think music had a lot to do with my radicalization cause I had no other leftist influence anywhere in my life besides Rise Against, Anti-Flag, and RATM and I’ve been listening to them since I was 7 or 8.
