Rage Against the Machine
Angry leftist band
Rage Against the Machine is an American rock band formed in 1991, known for fusing heavy metal with hip-hop and for politically radical lyrics attacking capitalism, racism, and government oppression.
The name suggests fury directed at systemic power structures.
The phrase has entered broader usage for any defiant stance against institutional authority: Time to rage against the machine and fight this policy.
