I'm not entirely sure what you mean here, but if you're saying that forms of explicitely 'political' art can stand outside of influence, I'm not sure that I agree. Political art can criticise the society of which it is a part, but only via an intellectual framework that helped spawn that very society. Bands like SY attack government policy, but not those key Western liberal ideas that ultimately determine both them AND Bush.
