"When did RATM become so woke???"
-- MAGA 2020
If you go back to 2012, Vice Presidential pick Paul Ryan listed RATM as his favorite band. At least the MAGA people are raging against something and they think it's the machine, but Paul Ryan was a technocratic dweeb who probably would've gotten shoved in a locker in high school if his dad wasn't rich. Paul Ryan was supposed to be smart, too, but i guess whether you're smart or not doesn't matter if you live in a fantasy world. You're doing to make a fool of yourself either way.
RATM, and many other bands sing with terrible diction. I wouldn't blame anyone for not understanding the message if they've never read the lyrics.
What? I have hearing difficulties and have never had issues understanding the lyrics in RATM songs. I feel like they enunciate very clearly.
I eat foods of which I don't know the ingredients all the time.
Might want to look at that, likely to catch up with you.
Bruh English is not even my first language and I started really understanding RATM's lyrics near the end of highschool, without having to ever read them because I was too ~~lazy~~ cool for that. I do have pretty good English comprehension skills but I'm sure the average native speaker does better than me
