Rage Against the Machine's music is inherently political, and even after all these years there are some fans who don't totally get the message. The band's former guitarist Tom Morello recently took to X to air his grievances with fans with "literally ZERO understanding of anything that band was about."

"Never ceases to amaze me how many folks who’ve heard RATM are in Paul Ryan mode, having literally ZERO understanding of anything that band was about and even less understanding where any of us might stand on contemporary issues," he wrote on November 3. "Recently was talking to a couple at a restaurant who were big fans of 'Killing In The Name'. The nice lady said, 'I love that song. It helped me rage against my parents and later against the jab!' I said, 'Ma’am that song is about racist cops who often behave like the Ku Klux Klan in service of historical white supremacy and are boot licking lackeys and thugs of the racist capitalist ruling class.' She sat there chewing and blinking, chewing and blinking."

RATM briefly reunited before being forced to cancel a slew of shows in 2022 due to singer Zack de la Rocha tearing his Achilles. Fans were hoping for rescheduled dates but instead the band's drummer Brad Wilk announced they had broken up in early 2024.
