J-Rocks bassist, Swara Wimayoga alias Wima believes that musical works are not just a means of expressing feelings. Furthermore, music is also a means of protesting.
"Music is not only our means of conveying feelings, but also our means of protest," said Wima when met in Thamrin, Central Jakarta on Friday, February 21.
Therefore, Wima regretted what happened to Sukatani, a punk duo from Purbalingga who suddenly apologized for one of his songs entitled 'Pay Pay Pay'.
Wima felt that Sukatani's apology was based on pressure from outside parties.
"Actually, it must be because there is pressure, right. Who is urgent? The question is that, right? It's just me, so just regret it," he said.

But for the bassist, the ability of music to protest is difficult to stop. This can be seen from how the response is on social media.
"After all, it ended up being used for yesterday's demonstration, it couldn't be stopped if it was with the community," said Wima.
"It's hard if it's called a movement, if we want to have no intention of making something, and it turns out to be like that," he concluded.
