I listen to music to escape the world and to immerse myself in something else. People like Lizzo and Kendrick Lamar putting politics into their music is just cringy. I prefer bands like Rage Against the Machine or Bob Dylan.

Art has always made political statements. I'm not listening to music for politics or to tell me how to lean, but getting mad that they have a platform is bullshit. And Kendrick is socially conscious, not political. There's a difference.

we pretending rage against the machine doesn't have political songs? or when you mean political you mean "i don't agree with what you're saying and i'm incapable of separating the message from the music so now i'm going to go cry on gamefaqs.com about it?"

i've been listening to a lot of grandson, which pretty much every song is some degree of political. It's great.

I wish more video games were agenda-free.

Metal Gear Solid is a perfect example.

One is just juvenile angst (Rage), the other was more poetic and creative with their expression (soad). I use to love Otep because she started off like a SOAD, then she became more like Rage Against the Machine as her career went on, which was sad for me to see happen.
