protest anthem
Movement's rallying cry
A protest anthem is a song that rallies people around a cause or movement, typically expressing dissent against social injustice, political oppression, or war.
These songs are designed to be sung collectively, with memorable melodies and lyrics that articulate shared grievances and hopes.
We marched through the streets singing the old protest anthems.
Some protest anthems transcend their original context to become enduring symbols of resistance, like "We Shall Overcome" or "Blowin' in the Wind."
