Rage Against the Machine |
 |
| Rage Against the Machine are identified by their hip-hopesque pounding rhythms and the lyrics of lead singer Zach De La Rocha. Rage challenges every aspect of modern life, from media effects to government control, as implied by the name. "Take the Power Back," explores the arbitrary nature of our education and calls on us to reject the ideals forced upon us by the government. Zach De La Rocha, a Harvard dropout, uses the intelligence of his lyrics and rock music as his medium to induce social awareness and change. He examines the exploitive and archaic system of education and calls on his listeners to question the teacher and his.her motives. A true advocate of the "teach-in." |
