If you’re gonna criticize something, don’t make it look cool!
One of my favorite thrash bands is Warbringer. Their lyrics are generally anti-war but they fall into the trap of accidentally glorifying it . The same way full metal jacket is anti-war but it was used as a recruiting tool because soldiers love it.
For example, the song Remain Violent is anti-cop and yet the lyrics and the t-shirt makes them look sick as shit. Put some red and black protestors in there! Don’t repeat their slogans!
The constant threat of a shot to the chest But defending yourself is resisting arrest City streets that I called my home Are starting to look like a combat zone
All that's what they want for you to say Is to remain silent Now you have the right to remain To remain violent
It’s intended to be anti cop but…
