Vietnam War: How protest music fueled a movement DW 04/29/2025
Briefly

The end of the Vietnam War on April 30, 1975, was preceded by a shift in US public sentiment influenced heavily by protest music. By 1973, the US had withdrawn militarily, with growing domestic pressure for peace driven by a burgeoning pop protest culture. Expert Justin Brummer highlights this era's musical landscape, noting over 700 anti-war songs emerged, documenting the diverse array of artists who contributed to the movement. This period showcased a mix of musical styles reflecting anti-war sentiments and fueled public discourse, culminating in the eventual end of US involvement in Vietnam.
"The 1960s were an important time of change in culture and society, when traditional barriers fell and youth music exploded." - Justin Brummer
