ABSTRACT

In this final chapter, I reflect on some of the opportunities that opened up during the crisis period starting from 2020, and more specifically on the particularities of Hungarian popular music emerging from its embeddedness in those historical nationaland global-level processes and power structures that have hindered the development of solidarity among workers in music, and between these workers and others. I conclude with suggestions for overcoming some of these obstacles through thinking about solidarity in a structural, and autonomy in a collective, “relational” way (Millar 2014; Ivancheva and Keating 2020).
