politics

I don't listen to Green Day, so I don't know about any of their albums' specifics. After Nirvana ended I saw Green Day first on a late night talk show, and they came out and played the same style of music that Nirvana made popular, with a similar stage presence and style. That's when I assumed they wanted to be Nirvana.

Later they changed into modern Green Day that is completely different than what they were at the start.

Ya, not even the same genre. If you don't like the music just say that instead of comparing them to someone else that you do like

I still don't get it. Rage was always political and they never hid it. I can still remember on their first website having a detailed FAQ on exactly what type of communist each band member identified with. Also they were putting stuff out in the CD era when you would literally get a slip of paper that showed you the lyrics. So it couldn't have been that they didn't know what the songs were about.

What part was confusing? You can have all the debates you want about communism and about music's role in politics but there is no debate at all exactly what these guys stood for. It was a known product. How was anyone for a second confused that a band screaming about class warfare is leftwing? Those twats must have been lying about how they felt betrayed. It is "I am shocked shocked there is gambling going on here" on roids.

You know what... Why not? It's no worse than MAGAts voting for Trump because "all the current politicians are corrupt, so let's vote for a non politician" and Taylor has an arguably better business acumen than Trump. As far as I know, she hasn't bankrupted any of her own businesses nor has she defrauded a charity bearing her name.

But I question her ability to make the difficult life or death decisions associated with the presidency. Armed conflict is a simple reality of the world today.

So who would be her running mate?

"As far as i’m concerned you and Pink are completely done."

I know the article calls this out too but WHAT!? I mean, good for this guy for having diverse tastes in music, but Pink went full pop basically in her second album. (If I recall correctly, it was a long time ago and I'm not a huge Pink fan). But Pink has never hidden her tendency towards activism.

And not to gatekeep, I get that people enjoy music for different reasons, but it just seems odd that someone would actually be a fan of Rage Against the Machine and expect anything less. And again, the guy acknowledges Rage's political activist nature in the article, but now it's apparently too much since he no longer agrees with their message. That sure sounds like "cancel culture" to me.
