all the "fuck the system" bands from the 80s-90s were right all along

Rage Against The Machine were one of the realest bands ever.

I preferred when they weren't political.

Rage Against The Machine is what happens when I see AI in my web search results.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, it's come up a few times lately but even the big popular ones you could have seen on MTV like SOAD and RATM can be chilling to listen to today.

Early Gen-X went from seeing the horrors of the Vietnam war on TV, straight into Reganism, Iran Contra, and more. All while under the looming shadow of global thermonuclear war, which was pushed heavily into the zeitgeist by cold-war politics at the time. Sure, there's a lot good stuff from that era too, but there was also plenty to rage about.

Punk was always right.

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I have always loved punk and especially the Clash.

[–] spinner@discuss.online 1 points 1 hour ago

They had some great riffs and lyrics

Maybe not about the heroin.

Indeed, in the wise words of the Boys, Beastie: "You gotta fight.. for your right.. to partyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy".

Also, in the words of Dee Snider and Twisted Sister: "We're not gonna take it, anymore."

Also in the words of Dee Snyder: "the only sado-masocism going on in the song 'Under the Knife,' is happening in Tipper Gore's head."

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 15 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I love that that song was a throwaway to make a point and it went crazy.

[–] etherphon@piefed.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I know right? Of course as a kid that totally flew over my head, it was just a jam. It's still a jam anyways haha.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

And they were only 16 years old when they made that album.

Tough to peak so early.

Just need to add church officials to that separate bathroom.
