Abstract

This study offers a content analysis of the lyrics of 100 songs of protest during two periods of war, the Vietnam War during the 1960s and early 70s and the war in Iraq which began in March of 2003. It provides a brief overview of some of the social and technological conditions which have led to the changes that have taken place in recent protest songs. The article shows that more recent protest music has become more specific, with a greater focus on historical events than occurred in the lyrics of protest music written during the years of the Vietnam War.
