an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one.
A distopia future (for when it was written) in which three power blocks fight for supremecy. one is always fighting one or the other. Smith's job in the book is to re-write old newspapers to reflect the current truth. Big Brother is the all encompassing fascist power using propoganda to control the population.
Utopian songs are songs that describe an ideal society (for example where there is freedom from hunger, inequality, violence, sickness and where people pursue happiness, fulfillment and mutually supportive community life). A distopia, technically, is a utopia that has gone horribly wrong, at least for a segment of the population. For example the US was founded on the utopian principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, yet enslaved Africans and committed genocide against Native Americans. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness have been more accessible for straight, white, christian men (as a group) than for everyone else and we can see the current vast economic inequality between the 1% and the 99% as distopic. Here are some songs that describe an ideal society: Big Rock Candy Mountain (Traditional), Dreamland (Bunny Wailer), Funky President (James Brown), I'll Take You There (Staple Singers), Imagine (John Lennon). Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Judy Garland, Israel Kamakawiwo`ole), Yes We Can (Allen Toussaint, The Pointer Sisters) .

In the distopian world, individual freedoms were strictly controlled by the oppressive government.
Utopian society
Using his novel Animal Farm Orwell uses the characters to mock the Russian revolution. He does this by using Animal Characteristics rather than using human characteristics, for example Orwell uses the character Napoleon to represent Joseph Stalin from the Russian Revolution, because pigs are greedy for food and Stalin was greedy for power so Orwell created a resemblance between Stalin and a greedy pig.
