In honor of the 2016 election results, this installment of Emerald Recommends looks to songs about rage and politics. Emerald staffers Craig Wright, Sararosa Davies and Emerson Malone discuss the response on campus and the difference between hope and rage in music, from the all-American sounds of Lou Reed and Simon and Garfunkel to the Canadian industrial noise-rock band Holy Fuck, whose hometown of Toronto is a likely destination for anyone baffled by the events of Tuesday night.
