Thought I'd make a song for sad songs about how much America and life in America sucks. One of my favorite genres. Thought I'd start with one that has America right in the title and is self-explanatory.

>Winter In America - Gil Scott Heron
Here is a live version, I'll transcribe the introduction myself, you can look up the rest.
Intro:
>Thank you very much, for the last few years we've been doing a song that concerns the fact that the seasons have been affected recently. Don't seem to have Spring like you used to, or Summer, or Fall, it has been a season collectively of frozen aspirations, and frozen hopes. We'd like to a song for you about the season we are trying to get over. It's called: Winter in America.

Why haven’t we seen an explosion of anti-Trump music in the past two months given how hated Trump is as president and how pop stars are given loads of credit for being socially conscious? Not even Kendrick Lamar seems to be making anti-Trump stuff despite being liberals’ favourite.

Now that the JFK assassination files are out, it is the perfect time to point out the fact that legendary punk vocalist/guitarist Ian Mackaye's father William R. Mackaye was in the motorcade which JFK was shot in as a White House reporter for the Washington post. Ian's Washington DC based label Dischord records have also signed several bands who perform regularly at the infamous Comet Ping Pong. Kinda gives new meaning to the term "Minor Threat"! I am almost positive this is all a big coincidence though and will be careful from now on and not look into it any further.

Has anyone tried to make a decent singable version of this song? There's a ton of good German Communist music that I wish had english versions that were singable. This really sucks as I'm a big fan of Spanish Civil War Republican/Int Brigade music.

They literally made a song where the hook is 'I am going to kill the rich Whities in my city.' How did they get with it?

>Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
>These people ain't seen a brown skin man
>Since their grandparents bought one

I've been trying to find this for days now, it's at 3:28
>baby I've been thinking that the two of us
>come tell me, lay down the line
past here really difficult to dicern some of it over the drums
>say it wasn't easy, are you serious
>well baby, come on baby
>i'll (i'll) just want to get back to where [illegible] oh yeah

This shit's crazy. Post good ones.

do you like any of the artists in this chart? i never new "wave" was a thing. Do you have any charts you want to share? what genres do you like from here? what was the soundcloud scene like from your perspective during that time?

I’ve recently been making punk rock combining my Advaitin faith and my Post-Marxist politics. Here are some of the songs:
