In the wake of the presidential election last week, emotions have been running high. Citizens of underrepresented identities feel ill-at-ease and threatened by the cultures of prejudice supported by President-Elect Donald Trump. With this tension, people have taken to the street in protest, have donated en mass to organizations like Planned Parenthood and the Human Rights Campaign, and have vocalized their outrage all throughout the world of social media.
One thing is more certain than ever: the world needs punk culture right now. Anti-establishment attitudes and art will help drive progressive conversations forward and can serve as a release for the tension being felt worldwide.
Our Odyssey community has compiled a playlist of songs they feel best represent their feelings in the wake of the presidential election -- check it out below, on Spotify.
