Protest music uses song as a vehicle for social and political commentary, challenging injustice and rallying listeners around causes of change. It spans diverse genres from folk and rock to punk and hip-hop, unified by confrontational lyrics that question authority and advocate for reform. The sound ranges from acoustic intimacy to aggressive intensity, prioritizing message over musical convention.
