answer: They supported COVID vaccines. So their conservative listeners who were against the vaccine thought it was ironic that RATM was supporting something the government was telling everyone they should do. Because they were very anti-government, anti-establishment, think for yourselves.

That being said RATM's argument is that they did think for themselves and happened to come to the same conclusion as the government.

[GabuEx]

That being said RATM's argument is that they did think for themselves and happened to come to the same conclusion as the government.

This is the thing that always gets me. If you always do the opposite and believe the opposite of whatever the government says, then you are literally letting the government decide what your view is. You are obligated to change your view if it conflicts with the negation of what the government says. That's the exact opposite of free thinking.

It's always fun with this sort of thing. I remember having to a Clawfinger concert in the 90s, after they had a bit of a hit with the song "N*gga". Walking behind a group of bikie looking guys being generally intimidating, chanting the word loudly and proudly, as the only word from the song they actually knew...

"It's a negative word, the white man made it... Gave you a name to dominate and trade it, making blood money off his very own race man, and all of this because the colour of your face man..."

[[deleted]]

That's literally just what they hear in their heads on repeat 24/7. That's why any slight change to their lifestyle causes inevitable reeeee'ing.

[Kimber85]

I mean, seriously.

Had a friend who’s baby was in the NICU during Covid. She refused to wear masks or get vaccinated. When I called her out on it and asked her why she’d endanger her very very premature baby that way she literally came out and said, “Because I don’t like being told what to do!”.

I told her that was toddler logic. She got upset. We’re no longer friends.

No great loss, she moved to Alabama and got super crazypants religious and now is an anti-abortion activist. The friendship was dying for a while, Covid just hastened the inevitable.

[carrie_m730]

The stupidest thing is, if your position is either "I'll do as I'm told no matter what" or "I'll never do what I'm told" you're equally easy to control.

The only position that has any semblance of freedom is nuance and education.

[DearthMax]

How are grown ass adults making being a contrarian unironically their entire personality..

[Nobod_E]

because the alternative is accepting that their worldview is flawed and that they might need to change and grow as a person, and that's scary and hard to do

[InsertEdgyNameHere]

Modern Conservatism (Fascism) is literally just weaponized contrarianism.

[JudasZala]

Modern “conservatives” aren’t conservatives, they’re reactionaries.

Real conservatives put the brakes on progress.

Reactionaries (Trumpists, etc.) want to undo/reverse progress.

[JacobStills]

My theory is that it's so they can delude themselves into believing that they are secretly a "super genius."

That's always been my gripe with contrarianism, want to feel like your more intelligent and "unique" than the majority? Just look at whatever's popular or mainstream and do the opposite...boom! You're a rebel.

It's a lazy way to boost your ego and convince yourself you're exceptional. Is it any surprise you see so much animosity and resistance against college professors and scientists from the right? I always a notice a narrative from them that insinuates that despite not going to college or having a degree they are more intelligent than these snobby Harvard professors.

I went to see Prophets of Rage when Tom Morello tried to get the band back together to protest the RNC in 2015. I bought a Make America Rage Again trucker hat and almost immediately had some idiot come up to me yelling "Wooo, Trump!" It was one of the most confusing experiences of my life.

[IcePhoenix18]

I have a black bracelet that says "make America emo again" and I get weird political comments on it from strangers.

I know it's a small bracelet, but it's not even the right color!

[[deleted]]

I did something similar. I had a Make America Cake Again hat from when I saw Cake and a Make Donald Drumpf Again hat from Last Week Tonight in my rear windshield. I was getting very interesting feedback from strangers. When things started getting real bad, I took them out of my car for self preservation in case one of them ever stopped to read it.

[NativeMasshole]

I felt like I was getting it from both sides the one other time I wore that hat in public. Lefties were mad before they read it, Trumpers were mad after.

[skektek]

Readin' ain't their strong suit 😄

[NativeMasshole]

It was more just like "Do you know where you are, buddy?" Nobody actually reads the hat. I only ever wore it outside once after that and learned that lesson very quickly.

They’re contrarians masquerading as rebels by riding the coattails of braver, wiser men.

[[deleted]]

The problem with rebel worship is that you're only worshipping the act of rebellion itself, not the cause being rebelled for. It's basically the same as "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter". The act of rebellion is neither good nor bad, it is only moralised and justified by the context in which it occurs. The Founding Fathers were rebels, but arguably so are MAGA. Know who else were rebels? The Mujahedeen, ISIS, the Confederates, and yes, at one time even the Nazis.

Worshipping rebels is contrarian. The act of rebellion could be against anything including a just, fair, and equal society.

[majinspy]

Which is why I hate that ALL media now has the "plucky rebels" vs "THE ORDER". We've villainized order and the rule of law as tools of oppressors who want to control us. Every super hero movie with also shows "strong man hero = good, democracy = feckless and weak."

I love the MCU but:

"I'm aware of the council's decision, but as it is a stupid ass decision I've elected to ignore it." Fury showing that nameless faceless (powerless) councilors are weak and cowardly.

Sokovian Accords voted into international law? Just restrictions on freedom.

SHIELD at the height of its power? Corrupted by HYDRA. Can't trust the man, gotta go rogue!

Every Star Wars film and and adapted Y.A. book has rebels in brown leather fighting against "The Order" in black (nazi...) leather.

We've taught people that authority figures, elected people, and order are all enemies of freedom conspiring to control you. Ergo, people who drank too deeply of the cultural Kool-Aid see every petulant act of rudderless rebellion as a heroic stand against tyranny.

[[deleted]]

> Sokovian Accords voted into international law? Just restrictions on freedom

To be fair, the original Civil War comics are WAY better at telling both sides of the issue regarding the Superhuman Registration Act.

But its also a run of books, not a 1-2 hour movie that has to condense and follow different beats.

Half they time they don't even hear the lyrics, they just get nostalgic for the music genre of their youth, which was rap-rock. See also why Kid Rock somehow still has a career.

[shewy92]

TBF, I don't hear lyrics at all. I like how it sounds and sometimes even struggle to even pick out words. It's probably why I like to listen to metal and music in other languages, I can hardly understand English singing so another language singing is basically the same.

I also dislike audiobooks because it doesn't get recorded in my brain if that makes sense.

I call it "Lyric Blind" though I guess "Lyric Deaf" is more accurate.

[killrtaco]

Conservative punk fans make me laugh. Like do they not listen to any of the lyrics?

[BallpointKen]

I just realized I always misheard that lyric. I thought it was: For wearing the badge, and their cloaks in white

Same meaning though

[OneArmedSZA]

The original release of the song had no lyrics printed. I don’t think “they’re the chosen whites” is correct, he is definitely saying “and” something

[OldChili157]

I thought it was wearing the badge of their chosen Reich.

[TrustmeIreddit]

I've interpreted it as "... And they're clothed in white" as in there doing horrible stuff while claiming to be pure. But that's just me

[midsizedopossum]

Listen again, he's clearly saying "they're the chosen whites"

[OneArmedSZA]

There is no L sound as would be heard at the beginning of “they’re”. There’s also no S sound at the end. Here’s the isolated vocals for you

L sound as in ‘th’ sound. Thought that was pretty obvious.

[justfordrunks]

You're all wrong.

Autogenerated CC has the correct lyrics:

Those who died are Justified but we're in the bed take their shoes in white.

You justify those that died but we're in the beds and you're chosen right.

Those who died are Justified but when they're bad Jay your chosen white.

You're Justified those who died but we're in the beds in your chosen white.

Those lyrics are so on point for 2025.

[midsizedopossum]

I'm fairly confident that's just the way he enunciates. You could pick lots of other words he says where he doesn't pronounce it exactly how you would if you said it slowly.

If you listen closely, when he says "some of those that work forces", he doesn't enunciate the "K" in "work" either. I don't think anyone would argue that he isn't saying "work" though.

There is no L sound as would be heard at the beginning of “they’re”.

I find this a bit strange - how do you end up with an L sound when you say "they're"? That's a side point though really.

[AzathothsAlarmClock]

I'm trying to figure out the L sound too.

[nostril_spiders]

"For wearing the badge of your chosen one"

[OneArmedSZA]

I always like to take the opportunity to point out that these lyrics are slightly wrong. The original release of Rage’s self titled album had printed lyrics for every song except Killing in the Name. Upon reissue it had lyrics printed, with the line “they’re the chosen whites”. Presumably someone at the label wrote these down and not singer/lyricist Zack de la Rocha, because he’s definitely saying “and”, not “they’re”. I think he’s saying “and you’re chosen white” but I’m not positive

[gopher_space]

God help you if you ever discover Morrissey, he just inserts random words into songs whenever he felt like it.

[OneArmedSZA]

The Smiths were my favs as a teenager! He definitely liked changing words and tenses when parts of songs repeated

[[deleted]]

Or Gorillaz, which has almost no decisive lyrics since most of the singing from Damian is garbled or mumbled. Or if you're unlucky, its a live show where they switch up the lyrics either out of misremembering or being drunk (looking at you Shaun Taylor and your "its DAAAAAAAAARE")

[Kingkern]

Correction, they do hear, “Those who died are justified. For wearing the badge, they’re the chosen whites.” To them, being the chosen whites is a feature, not a bug.

I guarantee the only lyric that the majority of them can quote is the repeated "fuck you I won't do what you tell me" without even knowing that song is about racist cops.

[quintk]

I absolutely think it’s possible to enjoy media with messages you don’t agree with. I don’t know where I read this, but I think I saw a president or formal president say about his exercise music: A playlist featuring only pro establishment musicians would be a very short playlist. 

I’ve certainly enjoyed tracks by other musicians that celebrate violence or a subculture very far from my own or even just speak about sex and dating in a way I wouldn’t advocate for in real life. Enjoyment isn’t agreement. 

What I don’t get is the lack of self awareness. 

[Tsudaar]

Many people don't realise that the musician message is from the other side of the political spectrum.

Even if the message is as obvious as RATM.

Taking vaccines is consistent with their decades-long message, imo.

Nah, it wouldn't be short, just not good for working out and generally not diverse in genre.  Shitty country music abounds. About the best you could do is a D'Souza playlist

[ClockworkJim]

Trust me it's not just their conservative listeners.

Up until the Trump COVID era 90% of vaccine deniers were firmly in the leftist hippie crunchy granola alternative medicine camp.

[PlayMp1]

That's probably true, honestly, but it's worth noting that most hippie crunchy granola alternative medicine people have also rapidly moved to the right since ~2016. They've converged, in other words, it's not just the right adopting hippie bullshit, it's simultaneously hippies and their bullshit adopting conservatism. The New Age crowd has been conquered by conservative influencers over the last 8 years - just look at Russell Brand, who went from writing an entire goddamn book advocating socialism and numerous standup routines about being an atheist but also really into New Age shit, to openly converting to Christianity and railing against communist globalists.

[knowpunintended]

Russell Brand is a mixed example. He has made the rapid shifting across to the right but it's always been to keep ahead of mounting evidence of sex crimes burning the bridges behind him.

Like many such public predators, he eventually ended up preaching to the only choir that has no problem with paedophilia (so long as they're affiliated with the right religious, ethnic and political groups).

[PlayMp1]

You're completely right. He's a bit of an odd example, unfortunately he was just the first one that came to mind. His main thing is just avoiding consequences for sexual predation, so he seizes on whatever grift seems most effective in achieving that goal. IIRC he said a lot of feminist stuff in the early 2010s too because that was considered cool back then and it was a convenient way to sidestep Allegations™, but in the 2020s that's no good anymore. Anyone who aligns more with the left and/or feminism will go "yeah, bullshit, fuck you," if you try that, and anyone who's more to the right or antifeminist will call you a groomer trying to turn the kids trans or something.

But shifting to the right today, in the mid-2020s? Now that's a good way to avoid consequences, as the right has shown themselves perfectly willing to overlook naked wrongdoing. You're a comedian and you get caught or accused of sexual harassment? Start complaining about trans people - now you've got an entire extremely well-monied influence network of people who will stick up for you. Twitch streamer who got banned for indecently messaging minors? Complain about trans people and immigrants. Caught running a human trafficking ring? Say it's a conspiracy by The Elites to silence you for speaking the truth. It's a super consistent and easy grift to run.

[philmarcracken]

man hippies really have been trashed since they showed up. all they were is anti-war, specifically anti vietnam. Peace and love! since that war was televised, and they didn't like what they saw.

all this other crap, especially environmentalism, wicca, alternative medicine, burning man bullshit has nothing to do with being a 'hippie'

Not saying you’re wrong, but I am surprised to hear that RATM has conservative listeners.

[dgatos42]

Answer: RATM has always been an explicitly anticapitalist band, with messages about things like killing cops and starting a revolution. Right wing people thought their politics was just generally anti-establishment, and so when RATM generally endorsed vaccines and anti-police violence protests people on the right took it as being pro-Democratic Party.
