I’ll start. System of a Down.
Recently it seems like some people are JUST NOW realizing that Bring me the horizon is not Christian friendly and I wonder how many other artists can we put into the bag of “Wait, they were political this whole time?”
This thread has been reported to us. I’ve temporarily made the decision to keep it (other mods; feel free to override). While the question could have been phrased a hell of a lot better (“what are your favourite bands that people don’t get the real meaning of?”), its a valid question and doesn’t quite fall into the “offensive” rule.
Community: please stay civil. The fact that a song can be political does not mean it is worth debating if it’s politics are correct. If discussion significantly devolves into personal attacks, bans will be issued regardless of partisanship.
Off topic: I love how clear you are in your articulation. I wish to develop this skill some day . If you don’t mind me asking, how would one develop such a skill?
The only thing funnier than people thinking Pink Floyd is apolitical is people thinking The Wall was right-wing.
Also met a strange amount of republicans who like Rise Against. When I was first getting into them I saw someone say they turned out to be fash, so I asked for more info and it turned out it was because they said they didn’t want racists, misogynists, or homophobes at their concerts.
The BMTH thing to me is hilarious. Their first popular single was “Pray for Plagues”, where Oli is asking God to burn this world to the ground, for fucks sake. I guess those fans discovered them post-deathcore and mostly know their singles without reading the lyrics too much, or at all? I genuinely don’t know how else they’d get this idea it’s a Christian friendly band lol

Should I save 1½ seconds typing?

If that makes my post incomprehensible?
I’ll never understand how people decide that trade-off is a good one.
It’s a direct answer to the main post, which mentions two bands, and this one is one of them. I thought the context implied the reference, visibly it didn’t, so I’m sorry for that. No need for the snark.
I understood you perfectly

Mate are you seriously saying System of a Down is a non political music act
Gotta love how so many MAGAites are bopping to Rage Against the Machine, without realizing that they themselves are part of the most vile and extreme version of the machine. They just latched on to the “fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me” from “Killing in the Name” without that single grain of self awareness necessary to connect the only two dots there are.
He’s the one who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
And I say ‘yeah’Unrelated to this thread, but that chorus is among my favorite duets. Dave and Kurts voices mesh so incredibly well.
And I do like shooting guns… wait…
He’s the one you guys ^
Serious discussion: Rise Against.
Taking the title literally: Alestorm.
Damnit Christopher, why you gotta be all misogynist?
