    Pretty much any punk song from 2001 onwards was anti-war on terror/Bush.

    I’d personally recommend the album Mobilize by Anti-Flag, but that’s just my nostalgia talking, fucking banger album though.

      Nice song. But that’s from 2002, just like the other user which linked a 2006 song. They all seem to be before 2010.

      Where did anti war music go from 2010 to 2020? Did being anti-war become unpopular or were they just less featured in our media? Or did people stop making anti war songs?

        After the death of Bin Laden, a decade of constant warfare, and the machinations utter crushing of the leftist movement re: occupy, anti-wot protests, the GFC, etc., etc. we were all just burnt out. You still have generic anti-war songs here and there, but it wasn’t as pressing an issue for people.

          That makes sense. I was wondering if this could somehow be blamed on Justin Bieber and the Swifties but war fatigue is probably the cause.

          Wonder if things will change or people are still in the “tired” phase.

        America forgot it was at war in Afghanistan until the disastrous pullout. You gotta have awareness of a thing to rage against it
