The Rock Out the Vote thing is just a way to lure young adults to vote. It turned out that the 2008 election had a record number of young adults as registered voters. The song was used in the campaign, but it's not what the song was intended to be.
They're not saying go out there and rock the vote. What they're trying to tell people is to stop being so fucking stupid take some time and try to get what you really want.
this is the first against me! song i have heard. i love this song. i love how much people argue about "better" music on youtube. if its good its good just enjoy it?
@SilentEcho33 Well you're not a true AM! fan. You're closed-minded with no open mind towards bands trying to do something different. Against Me! is growing up and they're not punk anymore. "Cathy? Yeah sure".. THEN STFU AND LISTEN TO IT. And have some respect for what the artist is trying to create and capture.
@ChineseCheeseSqueeze Ok let me ask you something..When did you get into AM!? I'm assuming New Wave and you know what that's great because now they have another fan and most likely you bought their older albums, but still doesn't make that album good. Also if you knew the story of how AM! started you would know that i'm obviously happy for the band and everything for making it big....BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR SOUND AND THAT'S WHAT FUCKING PISSES ME OFF
Black flags tv party video was them sitting around watching tv. Nirvanas in bloom video was nirvana playing on an old 50's style band stand show. And the meaning of selling out is when you compromise your artistic vision to make money. Did they sell out? The only ones who will ever know for sure are in the band. Or maybe this is what their sound has evolved into. Any how I like them and obviously others like them as well.
If you had the choice to make thousands or even millions off of a few hit songs, wouldn't you go for it? It beats being in poverty while sucking dick for coke.
@Jayko337 i don't know about black flag, but Nirvana had a similar video. I can't remember the song but it was in black and white lke on an old corny tv show, and they were all wearing dresses.
I love how against me can make a video of themselves making fun of themselves. they're so far from sold out. of course tom needs to make some more money, hes got a little kid now. i'm sure hes just looking out for the best interest of his family/
Against Me went to Penticton and played this aswell as other songs, they opened for Billy Talent, a great concert, Cancer Bats, and Alexisonfire opened for Billy Talent aswell =D
Will no duh other guest bands don't sound as good dipshit. Its always that way, the Main band for show will sound excellent while others only half. That way the host band will always be the most noticeable.Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
really? i thought the sound was abnormally bad with all the bands but billy talent sounded the best. against me normally sounds much better it was weird.
@Quimblesss I was there!!! :D I went for Alexisonfire and Cancer Bats. Billy Talent was also a plus for me i enjoy them as well. But i knew nothing about Against Me! (except this song, which after hearing it at the concert, i soon realized i heard it before) lol. They were definitally entertaining and alot of fun.
yeah the grayscale makes it pretty good, imo its also a subtle suggestion how easy we are distracted by pretty lights and colors (and the in video TVs) and dont think
They are making the point that we should not rely on media as a sound source of information for important decisions that we make. That is why they are throwing things at, and eventually destroying the TV; plus showing what a jerk-off the interviewer is. Looks like they are trying to "act" a certain way to make a point. By the comments it seems that this video is not hard core enough for those limp-wristed Che Guevara followers out there.
@ilikeassface You might think so, however they are focusing on a much deeper meaning. They are referring to the average American's hatred of Television and the fact that people believe that it is a downward spiral that leads to obesity and misinformation, Stop is trying to make the point that the argument isn't really important and that people should instead spend time considering things that are meaningful and able to be changed.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
awe, man. I told a good friend to check out "Against Me!", and he agreed to do so. But, he had to check out this song.... ........ this song out of all of their songs! This.... being their worst song....
They have a rock the vote video to this song. That may be the on which you are reffering too. I like that one better, it gives the song some redemption.
I love the dance moves they do.
