Analyzing Social Satire in Modern Music: Insights from Influential Artists

On April 11, 2014, we explored how contemporary music serves as a platform for social satire. Students were tasked with analyzing works from diverse genres and generations, focusing on artists like Macklemore, Bruce Springsteen, and PSY. We delved into pieces such as "Gangnam Style," "Born in the USA," "Same Love," and "Thrift Shop," examining their commentary on societal issues. The synthesis essay prompt challenged students to defend or oppose the idea that musical artists reflect society's ills rather than cause them, using specific examples from the week's discussions.
