I would like to highlight two of the most remarkable bands in contemporary OPM (Original Pilipino Music), Ben&Ben and IV of Spades. Their refreshing mix of folk, pop, funk, and rock has reinvigorated the local music industry as it connects with the Filipino youth through meaningful themes and new sounds. I decided to highlight them because they show how OPM is evolving. In terms of their sound, they combine the old and the new. And in today’s generation, they rekindle the passion for local music making.

Original Pilipino Music (OPM) plays a crucial role in shaping contemporary Philippine pop culture, influencing various aspects of society such as identity and social behavior.

Using Semiotics, we can analyze the symbols and signs embedded in OPM lyrics, melodies, and visuals. OPM often incorporates themes of love, nationalism, and social issues, which resonate deeply with Filipino audiences. For example, songs that celebrate cultural pride or address local struggles serve as symbols of collective identity, fostering a sense of belonging among listeners. The distinct sounds and languages used in OPM create a rich tapestry that reflects the diverse Filipino experience, allowing individuals to connect emotionally and culturally with the music.

OPM also impacts the political landscape and public discourse, aligning well with the Agenda Setting theory. Many OPM artists use their platforms to comment on societal issues, ranging from government accountability to environmental concerns. For instance, songs that criticize corruption or advocate for social justice not only inform listeners but also shape public opinion by highlighting the urgency of these issues. This musical activism inspires fans to engage more actively in civic discussions and movements, creating a ripple effect that encourages greater political awareness and participation. By intertwining entertainment with critical commentary, OPM not only entertains but also educates and mobilizes the audience, reinforcing its significance in the fabric of contemporary Philippine society.
