Quote:If they didn't at least superficially support these causes, even the most brain-fried teenagers would have to say "okay, this is bullshit."What are you getting at here? You're saying that teenagers are dumb enough to by a RATM album but smart enough to understand their message. Makes little sense to me. I dunno what you know about teens these days, but most of them don't give a shit about music. Rock, in particular. Why do you think that rap is the most popular genre these days? No, if teens are as stupid as you think, then they wouldn't be smart enough to figure out exactley what de la Rocha (btw. Rage is pretty much old news according to lots of these dumb teenagers that you are talking about...four years broken up is a long time) is talking about.
Quote:Anyway, like I said, if Rage and bands like them were sincerely anti-capitalist, they wouldn't whore themselves out to massive record conglomerates and merchandising corporations who charge $20 for their stylish logo on a three-dollar tee-shirt, backpack, wallets, breakfast cereals, videogames, action figures, dick rings and matching purses.Rage merchandise: t-shirts, and posters.
Quote:Bands like Rage are very, very smart. They have a good scam going on, and you're one of several million suckers. Isn't that funny?Ah well, you are incredibly ignorant. Thanks for being an asshole.
I like Rage Against the Machine and nothing you say can change that. I am also aware that you may not like it, however. I dont care.
