music made by a 'representative' of a group of downtrodden peoples.

also. the music should reflect/address the state of downtrodden-ness.

or. there's a quality about the music that identifies to the listner that 'these people are struggling' (maybe buckets and pots instead drums?)

but this brings up the idea that is the insertion of 'struggle content' the same as 'struggle music'?

who is the audience?

is the struggling musician speaking to his fellow human strugglers, or is he sending out a message to the non-struggling masses to cause some sort of awareness and instigate help?

can 'struggling people' make happier, lighter, music. is that struggle music simply cause it's made by struggling peoples?

i don't know. it's just some shit to think about.
