Social Commentary

Social Commentary music began in the 1960s during a particularly opinionated period in history, proving that subtly critiquing society whilst warbling a catchy tune is an art form in itself. Characterised by clever lyrics that often poke fun at politics, social issues, and human quirks, it sounds something like a mix between a lecture and a singalong, a delightful jolt of awareness with a side of cheeky humour. The genre's impact can be seen in everything from protest songs to the modern satirical hits that make you chuckle even whilst considering rather grim topics.
