Op Ed: Sonic Resistance, The Power of Music in Protest
When I was a kid my mom introduced me to The Prodigy. I really loved them, and I still do, but how do you explain The Prodigy to another third-grader who is a die-hard Hillary Duff fan? Throughout elementary school and beyond Iāve always considered music to be a form of personal protest. Itās been my sounding board, always challenging me to question what feels accepted, conventional, or expected. This isnāt an unusual sentiment. In fact, I hope itās widespread. Consider moments when that one song can explain everything and everyone. When you connect to that one song because it is a testament to your reality, and no one elseās reality. Music is more than mere vibrations: sounds amplify worlds that you cannot see.
