Politically charged rap/rock band from the 1990's. Known best for their leftist/radical political views. Often considered hypocrites due to appearing many times on MTV and selling millions of albums on a major record label.

Shitty overrated rap rock band. Use a catalog of about four guitar chords with some screechy Mc named Zack De La Rocca who panders to uninformed people (I.e. people who think child killer Che Guevara was a hero because he's on a t-shirt.) Utter shit.
I don't think I wiped all the Rage Against the Machine off my ass.

The word idiom has many meanings, one being
"A style of artistic expression characteristic of a particular individual, school, period, or medium: the idiom of the French impressionists; the punk rock idiom."
Therefore can be used as the perfect excuse to get out of doing stuff while still leaving the impression that you are an intelligent, intellectual individual
John: Wanna go to town
Gaz: Nah, it's against my idiom
John: Huh, yeah... (shuffles away)
Gaz is now free to see John's mum, knowing John will be baffled for the next 48 hours

Rage Against The Machine is the best band to ever have sat foot in this world - their music ain't just some crap they made up like shitty pop music; their music means something and it is politically inspired. They were a great band and it was a dam shame they split-up. Their music makes you think and that shit is important!
"Tha gut eaters, blood drenched get offensive like Tet
Tha fifth sun sets get back reclaim
Tha spirit of Cuahtemoc alive an untamed
Now face tha funk now blastin' out ya speaker, on tha one Maya, Mexica
That vulture came ta try and steal ya name
But now you got a gun, yeah this is for the people of the sun" - for those who don't know 'Tet' (the Tet Offensive) was a big attack which took place in the Vietnam war and a lot of people died.

A Karl Marx-inspired band formed in the early 90's, broke apart sometime in the year 2000. One of the most succesful political modern rock bands, and progenitors of the 'rap-rock' movement. Some of their music videos were directed by controversial filmmaker Michael Moore. Credibility is sometimes challenged, however. Tom Morello, guitarist of the band, claims to be a Marxist advocate but owns a number of expensive Cadillac automobiles at his LA home.
