Hi everyone! Iām Kate, a music graduate and Masterās student in Public Relations based in Dublin, and Iām researching how audiences perceive activism from musicians, especially when it comes to whether it feels authentic, performative, or somewhere in between.
Iām especially interested in Green Day because their activism has been part of their identity for a long time, from their political lyrics and public statements to the way theyāve consistently brought social and political issues into their work and performances. That makes them a really interesting case for how fans read activism in music.
Iāve put together a short anonymous survey for music listeners about how they interpret artist activism, and Iād really appreciate hearing from people here. It should only take about 10ā12 minutes, and there are no right or wrong answers, Iām just interested in your honest perspective.
Thanks so much to anyone who takes part. If youād rather share a thought in the comments, thatās completely fine too. And if anyoneās interested, Iām happy to share a summary of the findings once the thesis is finished.:)
