Who Are The Counterculture Bands?
Episode 61
Monday, 5 January, 2026
(RECORDED ON JANUARY 5, 2026) There's always the saying that when things get egregiously bad, there's going to be a plentiful return of protest music. There's a bit of a disagreement over here in the world of Music And We, as there's never been a shortage of political or protest music, regardless of period in time. Material conditions haven't necessarily been altered for the better for countless people, so art and music will always reflect sociopolitical inequities. The more interesting question wouldn't be regarding whether or not people are going to produce more political music and art; it's whether or not people will create more abrasive, confrontational and incendiary music and art, as a response or challenge to said inequities. Will there be a return to a counterculture movement?
