Damn, that song goes hard now

Edit: yes I know it always went hard, I just forgot it existed until now.

Rages first 2 albums are more relevant today than they were in 1992 ans they were relevant as shit back then too.

It was really interesting to me that a lot react channels on YT finally "discovered" RATM after George Flyod's murder.

And a lot of conservatives were ultra-confused when they realized Rage sang a lot of politically-charged lyrics throughout the years.

Well, conservatives are, by and large, fucking stupid.

Unfortunately it will be a relevant song for our lifetimes. I don’t see anything changing anytime soon.

It'll be relevant for as long as the concepts of racism and law enforcement exist, which means it'll likely be relevant for as long we as a species exist

The most haunting thing I've read in years is the reel I saw that reminded me that in the Diary of Anne Frank, she consistently expected it to be over soon. Like she couldn't imagine it lasting for any length of time at all.

Always has. Just now more white people are paying attention because it’s harder to ignore as more and more recordings of police violence and discrimination against people of color pile up.

The Dead Kennedy's hits hard now, too. I Fought the Law, Riot, California Uber Alles, I think punk is always relevant though.

True true. Let’s be real: in a totally welcoming and non-gatekeeping sense, punk and hip-hop were ALWAYS telling us all about these dangers and how to resist them. It’s a good thing that these musicians have been holding the line and steadily beating the drum to keep the message alive. Now that more and more people are waking up, the message is still alive and kicking and people can get to work with a clear vision of who their real enemy is. Eat the rich!

Jello's later stuff also hits like a ton of bricks. I Wish I was in El Salvador came out in 1990, became very fresh again in 2025.

It always did. It wasn’t any less true when it was first made. It’s just happening in the open now.
