Hey Axel, I’ve been thinking about how music can be a powerful tool for social change—what’s your take on blending your art with activism?
Axel
Yeah, music is a damn good megaphone, you know? I keep the riffs raw, the beats punchy, and drop the message right in the middle of the chorus so it cuts through the noise. The key is to make it feel like a song, not a lecture. If it’s too preachy, the crowd will tune out. So I jam with purpose, keep it honest, and let the crowd decide how they feel. That's the real activism vibe.
Hurma
I hear you, Axel. I agree the most impactful art feels organic, not like a lecture. If the hook is strong enough, the message can just slip in naturally, but you have to test if the crowd really picks up on it, not just hear it. Maybe try a couple of subtle references in the verses before the big chorus, so people can pick up on the layers without feeling preached to. Keeps the vibe honest while still making the point loud enough to stick.
