The election is over, and in January, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the President of the United States. I'm not the only one who is horrified.

Sitting on my couch with my fiancee, watching the results with tears streaming down my face. I thought about our wedding, only a year and a half away, and how it may only be recognized in our state by then. I thought about our future, and how our rights could quickly get snatched away. I thought about my fiancee, and how her insurance is about to get taken away, how she'll no longer be able to visit her specialist for her MS. I thought of my Muslim friends, and how they're now scared to wear their hijabs. I thought of my Mexican friends, who are afraid they'll never see their family in Mexico again. I thought about all of these things, and I desperately grasped for an answer.

Then I remembered what it was like to be a kid growing up under the Bush administration.

Remember "American Idiot?" Green Day's anti-Bush anthem, refusing to be associated with Republicanism and the problems it caused? Guess what, that's coming back.

I've seen an increase in complaints that music has gone down hill. That punk is dead, and that music has nothing to fight against. We now have something to fight against-Trump.

I predict in the next year, rock and roll will return in an abundance. Remember Richard Nixon? Remember how Vietnam, and his scandals incited it's own genre of music? Songs as good as "Sweet Home Alabama," Neil Young's, "Let's Impeach the President," and Crosby, Stills, and Nash Young's "Ohio."

Even pop will start to chime in their voices.This year, Beyonce's "Lemonade," was full of political messages, mostly related to the increase of police brutality towards black Americans. I can guarantee that Queen Bey will have much more to say about having someone like Trump as president. Lady Gaga's new album "Joanne," already has some hints of politics, with her song of peace "Come to Mama."

Music is always the best when it is sung in protest. There are more emotions, more feelings, and more passion, packed into the chords. Artists from across the country are going to start releasing music, paintings, and videos fighting for their rights.

I won't lie to you, things are about to get worse. I'm afraid. Even if Trump doesn't take away LGBTQ rights, there's already been a spike in assaults and harassment on the queer community. The wall that's supposed to go up in the southern border is firmly placed in Trump's 100 day plans. However, if you need one teeny tiny glimmer of hope, it is this: artists always rise in times of distress, and this is definitely a time of distress.
