The artists and genres Les Cowboys Fringants came out of — one hop back on the influence tree.
Loco Locass was a Canadian hip hop group from Quebec formed in 1995. The group often defended the role of the French language, and championed Quebec sovereignty. Songs such as "ROC Rap" and "Résistance" highlighted the band's political leanings, and their strong advocacy for Quebec to be an independent country. Their song "Le But" was previously used as the goal song of the Montreal Canadiens and was played after every goal the Canadiens scored at the Bell Centre until the start of the 2017–18 NHL Season. "Le But" was recently brought back as the Canadiens' victory song.
