Why did Rage Against the Machine have to get so political? Why couldn't they just stick to their music?
Back in the 90s I remember "Killing in the name of" was about kicking ass and not taking any shit from nobody. Listened to it a few weeks ago and it's all woke now smdh.
To be fair, when I was a teen that really was how I thought. The real meaning wasn't noticed until I started seeing the costs of politics and actually caring about what was going on. So if it helps, just think of the people claiming this as still being very very ~~stupid~~ ignorant of the politics of the real world.
Rolling down rodeo was such an amazing riff, I used to love it before they went back and changed the lyrics.
