I started thinking bout it even more after my friend gifted me a RATM cd as a joke for christmas(fuck you Rollo). They're kinda a perfect example of what I'm talking about. They barely mention the LAHC scene at all, haven't been involved since they got signed to FUCKING SONY. Which is strange since they seem sooo against capitalism and shit. Multi Million dollar deal looking real sweet ig. They pulled that whole thing at the BBC which screams performativity to me. Because if they were really against that shit they wouldn't idk even go to the performance, but whatever. They claim to be against these big evil corpos but then is shaking hands with em. Claim to be against the rich but is sitting in millions while saying ts. How are you claiming to call up the communist revolution and you doing all this bruh. And to the people who say that they're more of a provocative band than anything. Fuck that shit, you should practice what you preach anyway. They fans are just a bunch of white geezers who aren't even listening anyway, I mean Alt-RIght niggas saying it their fav band. So I'm afraid that even if they did have any type of message it fell on deaf ears.
The band members on their own suck. Zack is just a rich kid cosplaying as a tankie from South Central. Tom is arguably the biggest hypocrite in the band and an entitled asswad(good rifts tho). Tim Commerford is a nut that believes in weird shit. And honestly dont hear much drummer other than some weird lemonade he made
. TL;DR Rage Against the Machine are poser corpo hypocrites under a mask of anti capitalists provocatives .
