About this listen
1968 was the detonation point of the modern world.** Across continents, the year erupted in a convergence of raw defiance and cultural metamorphosis: students barricaded Parisian streets chanting revolution; Vietnam’s Tet Offensive shattered illusions of American invincibility; the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy gutted a nation’s conscience; Soviet tanks crushed Prague’s democratic spring; and Mexico City witnessed a massacre of protesting youth. Amidst the chaos, music became the heartbeat of resistance—Jimi Hendrix torched guitar strings into anthems of dissent, James Brown proclaimed Black pride in "Say It Loud," and The Doors channeled societal fever into psychedelic prophecy. Television beamed global unrest into living rooms, amplifying voices demanding civil rights, gender equality, and an end to war. In this crucible of protest and sound, counterculture flared into the mainstream, igniting a fuse that forever altered politics, identity, and art—proving that from the ashes of upheaval, a new world could scream itself into being.
