Seriously though, if you talk about socialism and the working class, well hi ho here's music made by the working class expressing a basic desire to not be poor and you denigrate it because it doesn't live up to your expectations of what you support as a snob. It might not be self-aware music at times but it's an honest expression of dissatisfaction with how society has treated them and it's still important if nothing else but as a document of a social group's feelings.
