In politics, right-wing, rightist and the Right generally imply support for preserving traditional social orders with hierarchal or private control of wealth. In music right wing would refer to artists who express sentiments which agree with right wing values. This could be either lyrically or in their personal lives.
The term Right was coined during the French Revolution, referring to seating arrangements in parliament; those who sat on the right supported preserving the institutions of the Ancien Régime (the monarchy, the aristocracy and the established church).
Today the term the Right is primarily used to refer to political groups that have a historical connection with the traditional Right, including conservatives, reactionaries, monarchists, aristocrats and theocrats. But in modern times, the Right has also encompassed views supporting capitalism, free markets and some forms of nationalism.
