LouSeemingly the opposite,
I’ve seen people echo it in this thread,
but Adam Curtis has a convincing segment in his doc Can’t Get You Out of My Head when he talks about this. From what I remember, he references how hip hop/rap, specifically Tupac (whose mother was straight up a communist Black Panther), channeled revolutionary energies into commercialized music. So rather than practicing direct action irl, those sentiments can be expressed and audiences can sympathize, but the energy is ultimately defused through this process as fans can get satisfaction through listening to the music and propagating it without actually DOing anything in real life
I think social media/the internet serves a lot of the same function.
