Songs from Paul Ryan's workout playlist

You won't believe the amount of right wingers who believe RATM are right wing. I assume because they sound angry?

I'm pretty sure "The Machine" they're raging against is like an annoying office printer or copy machine or something.

what you've described is AI generated music

I wonder if RATM might have a claim as the most political band of all time. The only song of theirs I can think of that isn't political is Born of a Broken Man. Even the songs they covered were political.

The Message must have been lost on these people Born in the USA it's a shame that The Revolution Will not be Televised because it might make it more obvious, but That's Just the Way it is.

When you're a Bull on Parade, you don't care to look for them.

Yeah. Welcome to Paradise, right? Taking the Longview, only a Basketcase would be down with this Dookie.

Well, I certainly don't want to be one of those.

Seconded.

We're trying here: A friend of mine got unconsentually kissed and by a guy with a... reputation, to say the least, who's been trying to get into her pants for a while. So my roommate/her boyfriend and I of course got pissed off and were like "so when do we smack the little shit?" (FAR from his first time)

However, victims themselves aren't aware of what happened to them. She's already starting to forget as a trauma response and very easily got gaslit by him later that it wasn't that big/deep - til her boyfriend/my roommate reminded her that yes it fucking is.

The situation is kinda on hold, and there's of course a lot of details that make it more complicated and such, but nothing's been done because the state of the victims here are so used to such shit that when it boils over, it seems like less of a big deal than it is.

I'm in Europe, but haven't always been and can very certainly say that where I come from, the bitch would be smacked around by the victim itself and likely socially isolated for a while, no need for help - instead of no social consequence, victim unaware of what happened to them despite having a trauma response they subjectively typically have and unsmacked

Shit's out of whack and more often than not (about this specifically, but in general as well) feel like I'm the crazy one for seeing almost rape and saying "that bad" TT

Oh I’ll happily do it. I grew up in a hockey family. My brothers all learned how to fight early and I learned through uhh… my own experiences with bullies. I hit one kid so hard, he told me how he was disoriented as fuck and we ended up becoming friends.

Ironic, the idea that art should just be for fun is its own ideology

Yeah, ask Leni Riefenstahl about it! She knows everything about unpolitical art.

Jesus, somebody slept through art class for literally all of school. Several somebodies, apparently.

I seen people on reddit argue “art is supposed to just be fun, not push any ideologies.”

Right before they blow a gasket because they were forced, against their wills, to play as a Lady Jedi.

Those people are embarrassing. They're probably the same people that say like "Dracula is just a story about a guy who bites people shut up about all this politics and feminism".

Education is difficult and, in the US are least, under funded.

It's a conservative identifier for me. I haven't seen an example that was't complaining about progressive political stances in some medium.

Oh so you saw one of the hundreds of thousands of bots?

Robin Hood and Little John walkin' through the forest...

System of a Down was instrumental in forming my political views.

Brueh. Laughs in literally any band in history.

I fucking LOVE Woody Guthrie. Start with his political songs, such as This Land is Your Land and Tear the Fascists Down, then pick up the Wilco/Billy Bragg album Mermaid Avenue for modern recordings of previously unrecorded Guthrie songs.

And let's not forget he protested Trump long before it was cool.

Born in the USA...

According to the demented fool, Fortunate son is about him, he is the: Millionaires son, born with silver spoon in hand, waiving the flag while the band is playing "Hail to the chief".

Agreed about They don't really care about us, but Man in the Mirror is more personal. Black or White has a certain political slant, and Earth Song has a very direct message.

Let's look at some other musicians who might have a claim to "most famous ever": Elvis was not really political - if anything he was pro-establishment.

Mozart and Beethoven however were very political. Beethoven scratched out the dedication to Napoleon in the Eroica when Napoleon made himself an emperor. Previously Beethoven had been a major supporter of Napoleon because he was pushing enlightenment ideals. Mozart was less directly political, but The Marriage of Figaro was very subversive at the time (which I know from the movie Amadeus, but apparently that checks out).

The Beatles didn't start out political, but they became more so over time.

Well he wasn't in the epstein files and he was an odd one. But as far as I know, no proof of the kid diddling has happened.

Unfortunately, punk music does have nazi fans, hence the song Nazi Punks Fuck Off

I knew some dudes who were big into punk and hardcore in the early ‘00s. They seemed decent at first, so I hung out with them for about a month before I figured out they were racist neo nazi shitstains. I dropped that group of friends so fucking fast.

Okay I need some help. Is there a place I can figure out precisely the boundaries of hardcore music because I've been told a few times I should do a hardcore band.

I do blues, folk, jazz, and church music. Hardcore sounds fun but I should know what it is before I try

It was a very popular song with people who just totally disregarded the sentiment entirely.

I was just thinking about how that seems to be a theme. Art has a message. People don't pick it up.

Like, if you'll pardon a genre change, the protagonists of final fantasy 7 are literal eco terrorists who blow up an allegory for an oil plant. How many of those fans love the game and didn't give a single thought to environmentalism? Barret would disapprove

See, it's easy. The lyrics that name foreign entities? Those are bad people. The domestic entities and events their country was involved in? Naturally-occurring events that simply happened. Just history.
