Perhaps in the vaguest possible sense, the process of discovering something really meaningful and, yes, beautiful which in some way structures your life is politically emancipatory in itself
@zhao - this is also an answer to "doesn't it count for something" (in short, no, but read on)
look bro I see you're sincere + I really don't want to be a jerk but just, no. buying vinyl or wavs on beatport isn't emancipating nothing. neither is necking some pills and dancing with strangers in a warehouse or a field or wherever. “dancefloor unity”, to the extent such a thing even exists at all, will never be anything close to strong enough to compete with the forces of social atomization. it doesn't pay rent or feed anyone (except those who profit off it) or care for the sick etc ad infinitum. not that it should have to. ultimately music is just another product tho. let's not pretend otherwise.
"all music is political" is, I'm sorry, vague, meaningless bullshit.
overtly political music just fucking sucks
fela, victor jara, iww union songs, the zapatista hymn, PE + roots reggae are all overtly political music (tho so is horst wessel lied). obviously pop/politics can + do collide but you can't really compare woody guthrie to club music. different aims. actively political music has its own problems anyway. I won't bore everyone by talking about recuperation.
as far as setting yourself up for failure w.impossible expectations, absolutely. being young + naive don't help. in a sense tho you have to demand the impossible.
