Lorde's decision to join the 'No Music For Genocide' campaign has created waves of notable conversation across social media platforms. It is a cultural movement where artists are pulling their music from streaming platforms in Israel. As Lorde signed up for the campaign, fans reacted, commenting:

"notice how nicki would never?"

The campaign was launched in September. It is related to the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. It is framed as a response to the alleged genocide in Gaza. The description on the official website of "No Music For Genocide" reads:

"No Music For Genocide is a cultural boycott of Israel. Over 400 initial artists and labels have geo-blocked and removed their music from that territory in response to Israel's genocide in Gaza; ethnic cleansing of the Occupied West Bank; apartheid within Israel / '48; political repression of Pro-Palestine efforts wherever we live; and the music industry's own ties to weapons and crimes against humanity."

It continues:

"This tangible act is just one step toward honoring Palestinian demands to isolate and delegitimize Israel as it kills without consequence on the world stage. The successful cultural boycotts against apartheid South Africa prove that our creative work grants us agency and power. When we wield it together, we add unified pressure to a growing, global, interdependent movement, from Hollywood to the docks of Morocco."
