And brought up socialism, as soon as I did like half the board turned into fiscal conservative chuds. Do you think Tim Mcilrath ever gets tired of chuds just not even listening to or caring about the passionate lyrics he writes for his songs?
Seems like Rage Against the Machine deals with the exact same shit.
its sad seeing rise against and bad religion my two favorite bands of my youth seem so libby when they seemed so radical when ai was young
I still love both. Obviously there’s only so much you can put in songs that get radio AirPlay.
I don’t know, I’m not going to fault either of them.
Im kind of bitter at bad religions recent album’s both sidesing sadly. also their newest single “emancipation of the mind” is idealist garbage :/ if their music slapped id be ok with it but its meh at best

I agree 100% i really love that song though same with chaos from within and I enjoy the approach as well (although these two basically say nothing tbh) thats the most credit I can give it though everything was miserable:/
if you disliked age of unreason go hate listen to emancipation of the mind. its really bad

Now i remember how back in school a friend of mine was all like "do you think American Jesus is meant ironically or is it sincere?"
i mean irony is so much easier to see now I feel like idk maybe im hopeful 😂
Want some actually radical punk? Most are a lot less melodic than either of those bands but I can toss some recommendations.
my issue is I love good lyrics I can understand but i love the intense fast energy of punk and skate punk so I usually settle for melodic stuff you know?
so yes please definitely
Fair enough other than Propagandhi and maybe Leftover Crack/Choking Victim. Older Chumbawamba is pretty punk (they've always had amazing lyrics). Crass and the whole UK anarcho thing from the 80s was a pretty big jumping off point for me politically, although at this point I can really tell it was mostly written by well meaning kids who mostly had no idea what they're talking about, but the energy is good. I'm into the crustier side of things where melody is a much lesser concern. Maybe 90s heavier American anarcho stuff like Aus-Rotten or Antischism, if you like them I can supply a lot more where that came from.
after work ill look into these :)) thank you!
Get back at me with what you like, I'm an encyclopedia of obscure punk music. It's also just super fun to be involved with.
