About this listen

In a lineup full of theatricality and angst, Rage Against the Machine stands out for turning nu metal into a tool of protest, with lyrics that respond to police brutality, racism and capitalism, their music still hits as hard today– especially for Gen Z.


In this episode, Marc Lajeunesse and Safa Hachi explore RATM’s debut album and how its message echoes through current movements, from anti-censorship protests in the 90s to conversations about war crimes, public health and modern rebellion. Unlike trend-driven virality, Rage Against the Machine’s influence is rooted in purpose, making them a different kind of icon in the digital age.
