those words will never be uttered by an artist getting airplay anytime soon.
Did white Rage Against the Machine fans actually listen to/understand the lyrics?

I don’t argue with niqqas on the Internet anymore
It depends on the fans.
Are they overall metal fans, or are they fans that listen to the artist for the lyrics themselves?
I know plenty of fans of groups like System of a Down, The Clash, even Green Day who legitimately give no credence to the anti-capitalist, anti-racist, and socialist lyrics of the group; they just enjoy the grooves and hooks of the songs.
I also know a lot of people who listen to those artists BECAUSE OF the concepts and the message itself.
Remember Chocolate Rain?
Song was exclusively about systemic racism, and Blackness in the US. Every single line of the song.
It went STRAIGHT over the vast majority of White people's heads.
Including the executives of Coca-Cola
So I automatically assume that whoever is listening, especially if they're White, has no idea what's going on until proven otherwise
This is such a good example. Every one just made fun of the song, his voice and how he looked.
Made parodies and memes it was disgusting.

fukk tha police..
The same cacs yelling blue lives matter now..
Used that song for their rebellious phase..
They knew exactly what Rage stood for..
Just like they knew about Guns n Roses but Axel Rose showed them true colors
And never talk about Kurt Cobain with a cac
They may say Nirvana was one of their all time favorite bands..
But mention how Kurt felt about racism
The mental gymnastics and red faces
Then they’ll bring up Dave Grohl as their favorite member..
Wonder why

Lol if Cobain wasn’t a musician and saying the same stuff he said back then they’d call him a cuck and an SJW

The reaction to Chocolate Rain and Hey Ya proved to me that people in general don’t pay attention to lyrics

Also if we are talking about pure musicianship Dave is head and shoulders above Kurt.
Likely not, but he's not an outspoken anti-capitalist, anti-racist, or Leftist like Kurt, the lead of the band.

It never left..
White kids listening to Rage back in like 94 were really superficial about the message, these were goofy teens who thought Anarchy or anti-government rhetoric sounded cool. Usually (not always) wasn’t much thoughtful / nuanced about their views on the bands message.
Alright Dave still good then
Or live vicariously through rappers talking about how theyre gonna fukk a nikkas bytch and broke nikkas. Who the fukk they think theyre talking about?the same way nikkas be listening to songs about trapping all day then go in to work kissing their cac boss ass on Monday.
