Guardian: Stormzy is a political pop hero
Share
For black millennials in urban areas, he might be the definitive spokesperson. His success, and the wider success of grime, represents empowerment and equality in a way that established, mainstream – and yes, white – pop never can... Stormzy is far from an archetypal politician, but his influence is far-reaching. Ultimately, his support is testament to a generation of young people who don’t need to be told how to wring their hands. A generation seeking integrity, authenticity and passion. A generation for whom above-the-line politics is to be held at arm’s length, but political indignation is something to hold on to - Guardian.
