Music as Promoting Social Awareness

Developed by Beau Mackenzie and Jay Hickey (2017)

An effective protest song does two things: presents its message clearly in a moving manner and causes people to play it more often or want to hear it played more often due to the appeal of its sound to the ear. Often times the song does not need to fully have both of these aspects and still be a quality protest song, but in order to truly be effective it should ideally have both aspects be legitimate and fully present.
