Why do police hate DnB and the underground scene so much? Do you know? Cos I don't

from Moon Stories · host Evie

There is a repeating pattern throughout history of things being pushed underground by the system for no reason other than the people in power's feelings of fear towards the unknown. Whether it be prostitution, LGBTQ+ clubs pre legalisation, or the underground music scene, we have seen time and time again that there is no supply without demand. We have an issue with people in positions of power (who are typically white due to the racial inequalities of our society) looking down on anything that doesn't follow their idea of what is considered 'acceptable or normal.' Just because it makes white, conservative, straight cisgender people with little experience of any other culture uncomfortable, it is not wrong. Regardless of if it takes hundreds of years for behaviours to become normalised, or riots and protests to evoke change, the system is fundamentally flawed at every level. The fact you cannot broadcast music to a group of people without the possibility of facing charges or prison time further proves my point that police, the government, anyone in power hates whatever they don't understand.In this podcast, I speak on pirate radio stations of the 90's, police's attitudes towards them, the ways the media conveys ideals of the underground scene based on upper class perceptions and the bubble up effect of when you cannot control the scene into what it has become today.Video reference - https://youtu.be/HZiqmMJNIaYSend me a MessageSupport the show
