@grayson @kimlockhartga @Tim_Eagon they were still in a room without a view.
@octopuddle @grayson @kimlockhartga in high school circa 1993, I had some politically conservative friends who loved RATM. I was perplexed to say the least and said “there’s more to their lyrics than ‘Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me’.”

@Tim_Eagon @octopuddle @grayson people pick and choose what they want to hear, and ignore the rest, like the Bible.

@audreygwinter @Tim_Eagon @octopuddle @grayson I will say that everyone ruined "Pumped up Kicks" for me by drawing my attention to the lyrics, so I understand to some extent, but really, a band's entire vibe? That should be obvious.

@Tim_Eagon @kimlockhartga @octopuddle @grayson I knew what it was about as soon as I heard it. Had to argue with a guy who claimd it "celebrated" youth violence, informing him that it was a *warning*. He didn't want to listen.

Why stop there? Bust out of their monitor snarling in a Sandinista T and start moshing.
