==Movement== Spoken-word poetry is typically more than a hobby or expression of talent. This art form is often used to convey important or controversial messages to society. Such messages often include raising awareness of topics such as: racial inequality, sexual assault and/or [[rape culture]], anti-bullying messages, [[body positivity|body-positive]] campaigns, and LGBT topics. Slam poetry competitions often feature loud and radical poems that display both intense content and sound. Spoken-word poetry is also abundant on college campuses, YouTube, and through forums such as Button Poetry.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://buttonpoetry.com/|title=Home - Button Poetry|website=Button Poetry}}</ref> Some spoken-word poems go viral and can then appear in articles, on [[TED talks]], and on social media sites such as [[Twitter]], [[Facebook]], and [[Instagram]].
