Following protest music in twenty-first-century Thailand, tracking songs as they stream from cell phones plugged into motorcycle speakers and flit about the Internet’s vast, unruly underside, requires vigilant attention. It also requires willingness to regularly refresh one’s understanding of musical categories. In the past half-decade, none of the country’s largest political movements—regardless of ideology—have settled on a playlist. Moreover, the same genres, and even the same songs, have been utilized by movements of vastly different viewpoints, increasing the confusion. In the case of recent Thai politics, an ethnomusicological approach that would identify a set of reiterative musical elements that characterize and symbolize a given movement and its political principles has proved inadequate. When it comes to the relationship between music and ideology in Thai politics, chaos reigns.
