Am I the only one who thinks the white working-class is becoming more and more alienated from the arts?
The arts, especially mainstream music, have fully become the product of the elite liberal class and the lumpen/lower criminal class which is ideologically and financially propped up by the elite liberal class. What’s now considered “good” music is music that’s specifically catered to pretentious “cultured” people like the professional-managerial class. Genuine working-class values of hard work, patriotism, family and Christian morality are nearly absent.
The only music that allegedly talks about the hardships working people face is rap, which isn’t even made by proletarians but by the black lumpen, for the black lumpen AKA the criminal underclass. Marx pointed out how the lumpen are an adversary of the genuine working-class, used by the elite classes to offset class struggle. Plus black people are only 13% of the population yet Black music which only speaks to the experiences of black people is way over represented in media. Music that expresses the grievances of white working people or people in Middle America isn’t given the same exposure. Country music has become nothing more than pop with the same themes of social liberalism.
Back in the day there existed musicians like Woodie Guthrie and Pete Seeger, actual proletarians who were members of the Communist Party who made songs about the struggles of actual proletarians in America. They didn’t sing about killing police or fucking bitches but about working-class solidarity. Now that we’ve entered a time when capitalism is on the verge of collapse, inflation is gripping the American family, wages still aren’t paying enough and America is losing its power in the global stage you’d think a Guthrie-type figure would emerge. But nothing of the sort exists. Oliver Anthony was a fluke whose 15 minutes of fame are long over.
Anyone else feel the same way?

The Black working poor see music (specifically hip hop) as the way out of poverty.
The white working poor see trade school as the way out of poverty.
There is no conspiracy. Poor whites in the flyover states don't encourage their teens to pick up an acoustic guitar and sing about the trials and tribulations of being a manual labourer in 2024.
Not to mention, middle class people of any background see college as the way of maintaining their middle-class status. The white working-class is notoriously adverse to academia just like it is the arts.
Champagne socialists, succdems, limousine liberals, gauche au caviar, bourgeois communism and whatever other term you'd like to use, those people are retarded and rotten to the core, when you see a college liberal talking about work and class struggle remember we're gonna shoot him after the revolution, the college liberal will not wait a second to say proletarian nationalism is due to lack of education and whatever other shit, they're truthfully elitist and have crooked minds. They're not even good as useful idiots, just bash their heads in, socialism means violent reprisal and not democracy or whatever, the arts don't reflect white working class for this very reason. It's all feelgood horseshittery
>>13971Most lumpen don't make any commercially good not sophisticated music.
Most gangster rappers were just squares who grew up in the ghetto but had access to quality education.
