protest song





the social injustice's that are addressed in this song are consumerism and how much clothes effect our life as a social status object. the artist of this song is Macklamore (Ben Haggerty) and Ryan Lewis. They are connected to this movement because after this song became a Number one hit around the world sales at thrift stores shot up dramatically, you could argue that now people are just consumers all the same but i think the message of this song still dramatically comes across pointing out things such as why would you spend 50$ on a t-shirt that 6 other people could be wearing at a party or club you go to and the ignorance behind that. i really do enjoy this song i like the message that it sends to people and it is extremely catchy. if i were to write a protest song of my own it would probably be in the genre of acoustic music
