Punk musicians be like “Music is apolitical???”
Shitty pop music has never been political.
Eh, there’s some pretty famous examples of pop music being political. Weirdly, the most recent example I can think of off the top of my head is Green Day’s American Idiot, which had a couple tracks that were pretty political. I will say that it’s probably been a straight decline in pop music being political since the ‘60s.
