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?
I must confess that you’re the first person to tell that to me — English class was always a disaster! The only thing I can point to is practice: I have a blog here that I write at regularly. The other component might be luck? They say that a broken clock is right twice a day and I’m inclined to agree.
In any case, thank you!
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.
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.
“Uhhhh ‘the machine’ is clearly Big Woke that’s trying to make us all gay trans Muslims. It’s like you don’t know anything 🙄”
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 ^
non political
SOAD
if anything this is a good troll 🤣 but ill bite:
soad is one of the bands you ask for.
Mate are you seriously saying System of a Down is a non political music act
Serious discussion: Rise Against.
Taking the title literally: Alestorm.
Damnit Christopher, why you gotta be all misogynist?
weird al. huge range of actual parodies and his own songs as ‘style’ parodies. always clean, good fun
I loved his music until he admitted that all of it was Al-generated.
I also loved it afterwards, but I loved it until then too.
You g… got a pen? Write this down:
Jazz for appreciating pro instrumentalists
EDM for work out
Classical for relaxing, getting job done
What if I want something relevant
Taylor swift got you
Bob Marley
Chumbawamba! (Am I doing this right?)
“Everybody” knows that song, and thinks of it as a harmless party song. “Nobody” has heard their earlier stuff which alternates between punk and anarchism-pop.
If I remember correctly, they emerged from the blue collar punk scene, and draws a lot of their political views from there.
Nothing special to see or hear in any of the following: their earlier stuff, their later stuff, tracks 2–12 on the same album, the 10,000 word essay in the liner notes, their followup single, etc.
Jesse Cook
Tay Zonday. Totally singing about non-political wholesome chocolate rains.
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
The BMTH thing to me is hilarious

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
