A new wave of digital activism is sweeping across social media platforms as independent creators release a series of anthems for the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). What began as a grassroots movement has now found its voice through music, with tracks ranging from Haryanvi rap to hip-hop, all centered on the struggles of the Indian youth.
These anthems serve as a formal response to social stigmas, with lyrics explicitly reclaiming labels like “insects”, “parasites” and “lazy”.
The musical movement also leans heavily into political satire. Here are some of the most viral songs that have come about since the inception of the Cockroach Janta Party.
