Because RATM is one of the greatest albums of all time and screaming “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me” is massively badass.
And many people don’t actually understand their political stance. People actually got mad they “became political”.
What do you mean? They weren’t political back then.
/S haha.
Saw them in concert in ‘94. Zach tried to start a riot against the cops. I was young, scared, thought he was wrong.
He was right
Gonna give another interesting take,
RATM’s eponymous album considered to have one of the best Mix and Master ever, so we sound engineers use that exact track to test and calibrate different sound systems. I always play Killing in the Name first to hear what’s different in a sound system. I’m sure me only contributed around 5k of that stat over the years.
Damn that’s a cool take I had never known about - thanks for that
That’s probably just Paul Ryan listening to the song on repeat.
I wonder why this song has so many plays?
To answer your question, I’d say no: you do not wonder why this song has so many plays.
Glad I could help answer that question.
there was just a tiny bit of sarcasm with that question
How many angry teens retreat to their room and hit it up on the stereo after their mum has told them to bring her their dirty laundry?
It is a divisive song that is more popular than it should be, but many popular songs are divisive.
It’s divisive? I can’t think of a single person I know who doesn’t like that song. Even the ones that are boot lickers.
Only shitheaded Nazis don’t like that song.
Nah, even they like it because they think it gives them the right to use the n word.
I’ll bite. How popular should it be?
