Comment on Are there any good protest songs from the past few years?

Not exactly what you asked, but I think it’s important to note how old protest songs are still so relevant. I listen to a lot of 1980s music (in fact, presently playing my 80s playlist, just went from Tiffany to Belinda Carlisle) and older music.
Listen to the 1971 song Won’t Get Fooled Again by British band The Who. I’m sure most of you have heard it. Listen to what he said 55 years ago and imagine it was written this year, and see how relevant it is.

Agree on old songs still having power in this context. Doesn’t feel old to me, Dead Kennedys’ Soup is Good Food may as well have come out in 2025 instead of 1985.
