Protest Songs (album)
A "Protest Songs" album is a music album, typically of folk, rock, or other popular music genres, that predominantly features songs expressing dissent against a particular political or social issue, system, or event. These albums often serve as a vehicle for artists to voice their opinions on topics such as war, injustice, inequality, environmental concerns, and governmental policies. The selection of songs included are unified by their common theme of protest and often reflect a specific period of social or political unrest. While some albums are explicitly titled "Protest Songs," others may be categorized as such based on the lyrical content and the artist's intentions, even if the title doesn't explicitly indicate the album's political nature. The impact of a "Protest Songs" album can extend beyond the realm of music, potentially contributing to social discourse, raising awareness, and inspiring activism.
