What artist/band is today's Rage Against the Machine?

Angry, far-left, almost always speaking about social change, and pisses off parents.

Well, the way my neighbors talk about her, Taylor Swift apparently.

You’re not wrong! They practically impose Che Guevara’s beret on her now. Doesn’t take much.

Run the Jewels, or IDLES

Idles was the first thing that came to my mind. They’re not political enough to be quite in the same league, but it’s close.

they're political, but more UK low key type political rather than in your face RATM political

Yes. I love RATM, eight concerts worth, but they were a bit much from time to time. The Shining Path guerrillas were brutal murderers, not heroes to be venerated. Sophomoric sloganeering.

It’s my personal opinion that they lost the right to “rage against the machine” when they agreed to reunite for Coachella.

They headlined the original Coachella in 1999.

What is up with this "far left" nonsense... especially these days. Criticizing corruption, authoritarians, racism, oppression, exploitation is not "far left" it's just basic morality critiquing abuse of power. Find a band that criticizes genocide, police brutality, political corruptions, corporations and governments abusing workers and that's your Rage Against the Machine ... Rage isn't the only band that was, has, or is doing that... that musical tradition came out of the 60's and the blues music of slaves (who were also not "far-left"). Just saying, not being a partisan conservative doesn't make you a leftist or far-left.

I dunno, music is more political now than it ever has been. Plenty of hip hop, punk, hardcore, and even metal bands with something to say. Rage against of the machine musical style is rooted deeply in all of those things, those I don’t think you’ll have anyone that sounds like them again.

I hear against me on the radio here all the time. The radio barely even plays new shit anymore anyway, who listens to that?
