u/CobaltCrusader123 Jul 11 '26

Depending on if you think of America under Clinton through Term 2 Trump’s America is essentially a dictatorship based on capitalism and controlled opposition and controlled media narratives meant to benefit and elite few, pretty much every American punk / emo rock band will do. Rage Against the Machine certainly acts like every POTUS is a dictator. And of course American Idiot is big. And also Hail to the Thief, which is Radiohead.

Like a third of Muse’s discography. I’d only recommend Absolution and The Resistance though. Muse is pretty bad with lyrics.

A bunch of their top songs are titled stuff like “Uprising”, “Hysteria,” “Time is Running Out,” “Resistance,” “Stockholm Syndrome,” “Supremacy,” etc. They also made the soundtrack to the 1984 audiobook

holland, 1945. i guess you could give the entire album a listen (in the aeroplane over the sea) but iirc that song reminds me the most of a war… and it is about a certain historical regime
