Abstract
The Vietnam War has been said to be the least popular war the United States was involved in during the 20th century. Through the fighting, social change, politics, and other turmoil, the music of that era became a cultural phenomenon. This study presents a comprehensive historical analysis of the themes related to the relationship between the music and politics during the Vietnam era. This study looked at how music artists responded to and influenced the cultural and political environment of the time. By analyzing different types of music such as anti-war songs, protest anthems, and patriotic songs, along with the historical events that coincide with their release, this study aims to highlight the complexity of the relationship between music and politics during the Vietnam era.
