Sanremo 2021 - Lo Stato Sociale, Emanuela Fanelli e Francesco Pannofino - 'Non è per sempre'
Di cosa parlano le canzoni indie

<<<... Stato Sociale has taken that Gaber-style approach and turned it into a sort of proto M5S language, filled with post-ironic statements that are, in reality, very serious and convinced, yet always hidden beneath a supposed dose of irony. Their portrayal of indie, Italy, work, or anything at all has been the most generic and populist narrative we've seen in recent years in Italy, where, not surprisingly, they triumphed on the Sanremo stage, which has boasted that banal, insipid, national-popular, and unbearable language for years.>>>

These are the words of Riccardo De Stefano (second video link), a music critic who seems to be independent in every way, and an expert on the "non-mainstream" circuit.

Now, the commendable interpretation by Lo Stato Sociale (first link) in favor of the culture and entertainment sector – which has been in crisis for an entire year – is definitely the best thing to happen so far in this sterile Sanremo Festival. But don't you think it could be self-serving? Should certain battles be fought in this way?
