The B-Sides dives into the state of resistance music in pop culture. Are we all chained to the rhythm, or is there hope for us? What do we expect from our artists in an era that needs all hands on deck for the resistance? Are our expectations for resistance too high (sorry Fifth Harmony, you did not nail it) or too low (Taylor, where *were* you)? Does the resistance even need pop music?
