  • Shut the fuck up people. "OMG! OMFG! They changed their music style!" Shut the fuck up. Nobody cares. If you don't like their new music, and here's a new idea, DON'T FUCKING LISTEN TO IT. So what? They sound different. So? Maybe they like this music. They changed their views? Oh no. One band changed their political views. Shit. We're gonna die. Stop being whiney little bitches and listen to something different. Usually I don't swear to make a point, but in this instance I felt it was needed.

  • You know, I almost don't care that this song is a total sell-out. Can't stop listening to it.

    :)

  • what the fuck is this shit??They use to be good but what the fuck happened.They should go back to when they had good music and a good fan base, instead of crappy music and a 14 year old girl fan base.

  • im disappointed at this video...was Baby, im an anarchist just a "funny song" to them?

    =(

    The line is good. "STOP TAKE SOME TIME TO THINK"...the next line should have been "ABOUT YOUR GOVERNMENT, WHO RUNS the MONETARY SYSTEM...ETC". Through bands like these there is a chance that their listener will Stop and take some time to think about the important things...

  • but wasnt this song written for a different purpose, rather than you know the vote?? or at least thats what i read somewhere..

  • Fuck it, I don't care who gets mad. Against Me we're suppose to be this guiding light in punk rock. They had strong beliefs against labels, politics, injustice and they stood strong to those beliefs...until the right offer came along.

    This band doesn't mean anything anymore. They got manipulated and formed into what they preached against. They're on a shitty vote campaign with Aguilera, LC from Laguna Beach, Kid Rock, Soulja Boy, and Murs.

    These guys turned their backs. Now I'm turning mine.

  • Amen to that.

  • Spot on. I'll forget New Wave ever happened and just listen to Reinventing Axl Rose on loop.

    Tom Gabel is a fucking faggot.

  • baby im an anarchist was good though

  • Check the politics. Youtube search thenewhotfire...

  • Who's the spineless liberal now?

  • fuck politics !!!! fuck shit !!! fuck the system !!!!

  • no way. the system has to go down but seriously not people.

  • What the fuck?Didn't these people come out with a song entitled "baby I'm an anarchist"?Those hypocrites support the bourgeois state.

  • @Spaz3586

    What the fuck are you talking about? This is about figuring out the issues that are important to you, picking a candidate that represents your views, and getting out to vote. You fail.

  • I fail?The premise of my statement was that they made a song indicating that they were anarchists.Therefore they were contradicting themselves by supporting the state.

    And as far as picking a candidate that represents me, there are none!And there are none for you either.I can't think of a single elected official who has ever held office that has not been a member of the ruling class.The ruling class does not care about your opinions at all, they just give you that illusion.

  • i see your point.

    im an anarchist myself.

    The government, it's system and it's president doesn't represent me at all. A president/one individual surely can't represent thousands and thousands of people. People really need to stop giving power and keep the power. Have faith in yourself, not a system.

    Im disappointed..was Baby im an anarchist some "funny" song to them then?

  • haha your funny

    anarchists are funny people

  • Haha,Igual pienso que eres funny. ;)

    Non anarchists are funny too. *wink*

  • SUPERB NOW vote for RON PAUL OUR ONLY HOPE to save the Constitution and our civil liberties!!!!!!

  • "Six cylinders will take us further than any president"

    Haha good one guys.

  • they play this on mtv habitually. if thats not a left wing agenda then i dont know what is. mtv is whacked out! this is the pushing of a complete demoralization of our society. no values. what ever happened to mtv? they used to play music, now they want everyone to be gay. weird. 90% of shows on mtv have gay innuendos. be gay, fine...but why does mtv push the idea sooo much. and think about who watches mtv? young kids.

  • Left wing agenda? hahahahhahaa.

    Neoliberal agenda. That's more like it.

    MTV always sucked. Deal with it.

  • Great Song & Production: Abortion, Guantanamo Bay, Gayrriage, Health care, The Homeless, War, & Illegal Immigration, Its plain they tried to make it unbiased (or look like it) If only they'd have faded to black sooner on the gays ick... Still a great vid

  • wait to take a personal song about selling out and turning it policital

  • hate this song.

  • go anarchy!!!

  • Check out the sampler for my band, bear assets new ep spin on my page now!

  • people, go and VOTE! if you really want to change!

  • fantastic.

  • 'Anarchists' 'rocking the vote' huh. What bullshit. They are not anarchists, they are liberals.

  • amen!

  • They were anarchists, but at this point they have left the theory. So yeah, it's not (I'm with you though, "rock the vote" is bullshit that just appeases the system).

  • ... Anarchism is a liberal 'system'. look up 'liberal'.

  • Another "Webster's Dictionary" intellectual.

  • lol, what are you talking about?  I know what things mean, and obviously he didnt. Liberal beliefs are to 'make more free'.

  • 1. favorable to progress or reform, as in political or religious affairs.

    2. (often initial capital letter) noting or pertaining to political party advocating measures of progressive political reform.

    3. favoring or permitting freedom of action, esp. with respect to matters of personal belief or expression: a liberal policy toward dissident artists and writers.

    Funny NO MENTION OF ANARCHY! Only REFORM!

    Pick up A DICTIONARY, and check before asking others to prove your foolishness!

  • Anarchy is reform.  is it not?

  • No -  It's not. Anarchy is a state with out government. It is CHAOS. Here's the definition...

  • 1. a state of society without government or law.

    2. political and social disorder due to the absence of governmental control.

    3. a theory that regards the absence of all direct/coercive government as a political ideal and that proposes the cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and groups as the principal mode of organized society.

    4. confusion; chaos; disorder: Intellectual & moral anarchy followed his loss of faith.

  • no way. none of thee above even describe Anarchy...

    Don't look at your main stream dictionaries. Those definitions were put there to scare people. Study Anarchy. Just dont look up the definition. tsk tsk.

  • Okay, I guess you are getting the information now. I call myself an Anarchist only because the government is not just. I believe that we should have a democracy, and we don't have anything close to a democracy right now, we have no say in anything. I believe that laws should be determined by people, and NOT A HIGHERARCHY, like they are now, which is what I define as a government.

  • I agree with you on the state of our goverment! It's in an awful predicament, and we need to really overhaul, and reform it. I believe it should be completely illegal for any politician to accept money from and PAC, or INC. They are not the people, they swore an oath to serve. I am an avid protestor of the curroption of our government. So much so, that my husband can't wait for the elections to be over, so I will stop yelling at the TV, like it's a football game. Write your representatives..

  • Join a demonstration, March on Washington, Call your senators, LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD. DEMAND THE ATTENTION YOU DESERVE! American people have become complacent and lazy in the political system. We have not taken control of our government and made a real ENOUGH IS ENOUGH statement since the 60's. Now is the time. I refuse to allow my daughter to be worse off then me, when she is an adult.

  • haha, yep. I have written all of my state representatives here in Florida, and gotten replies, yeah generic replies.. "thank you for your support, I too, share your cares blah blah blah..." It's ridiculous.. How can we possibly run a country based upon Multinational corporations? We can't and neither candidate will get away from this.. but One can take us in the right direction away.. still not good enough America..

  • are you seriously such little bitches? quit complaining and start your own band or something

  • ARJUNPANDA that was very well put...thank god i'm no the only person who feels that way about this

  • i don't care about that crap... maybe they are anarchists, but rite now they have to make a decision and we all want it to be the best. And i like this song

  • come on man, signing to a major is not selling out as much as changing your 'anarchist' veiws to 'hey! lets go vote for obama! yaaaaaay!'

    and what do youguys mean that we have no right to call them sellouts! are they gonna call themselves sellouts? NO, WE ARE. they can do whatever they want, its just that us DIY-ers would rather have them stand for our values, not some fake ones constructed to make the masses feel electrified.

    long live Axl Rose!

  • Tom Gabel IS Axl Rose.

  • the album. sorry for the confusion

  • Remember when this band mattered?

  • I vote to violently pull conservatives out of the American Political System. Before people start throwing quotes at me, I desagree with the common misconception. The Conservative Machine IS broken, and must be removed if America is going to take any steps forward.

  • Ron Paul 08.....Stop the NWO and the Illuminati from controlling hidden aspects of your life and the lives around you. Do something people, we have the power.

  • These have to be the shittiest lyrics ever written.. they should have stopped and taked the time to think before releasing this track... Im against you

  • I don't get this at all. Ok, they are folk punk anarchist band. Then they move onto electric, thats all good. Bands change, shit happens. Then.. they release the travesty that is New Wave and this song. Ok, still understandable. Shitty album, but people change political ideas all the time.. then they release Anna is a Fucking Stool Pigeon, a song supporting anarchists.

    Against Me! confuses me more than any other band. Seriously.

  • I think they have secretly moved away from their anarchist beliefs, but they want to still appeal to that crowd. It's all about making money to them now. Fuck sell-out pieces of shit. They USED to mean something.

  • I think they have secretly moved away from their anarchist beliefs, but they want to still appeal to that crowd. It's all about making money to them now. Fuck sell-out pieces of shit. They USED to mean something.

  • I think they did this track because they need money, not want, need. Life's a bitch, sometimes you have to do things you don't want to put food on your family's tables, who the fuck are you to call them sellouts? But your whole life and money making career into a genre of music creation that isn't mainstream while you have a family and we'll see who is calling who a sellout, open your eyes and shut your mouth.

  • That means they ARE sellouts. Regardless of whether they want or need, if they released this because they need money that's the definition basically of selling out.

  • as a soldier and a musician stuck overseas, I believe Against Me! did what they wanted and didnt worry about 'selling out'. Musical styles change, people's tastes in music change, thats just the music industry. As a musician, I know i get sick of playing the same style of music over and over, you have to change it up to keep yourself entertained with your art. All great bands change styles - Springsteen, Beatles, Stones, etc. etc. I applaude this band for making such a change.

  • Being a soldier and doing what needs to be done to protect this country gives your comments a solid validity. I believe that we must protect more than our civil rights. Very intelligent comment.

  • Yea... this band isn't doing ANYTHING. Rocking the Vote? FUCK THE VOTE. That's Bullshit. I will never choose between two fucking fascists who want to control the way I LIVE. That's my job. I don't care if this band are anarchists or not... i care about what (OH MY GOD!).. Is important to ME!

  • I'd rather stay a child, and keep my self respect, if being an adult means being like you.

  • i haven't said anything that shows that i've given away my self-respect. you are an ungrateful moron. we have it SO good in the USA compared to so many other countries. yes, i do realize we have our problems, but what country doesn't? they don't "control the way you live". let me see how much you'd be bitching if you had a government that won't even let you listen to your precious music. MAYBE THEN YOU WON'T COMPLAIN SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE NOW. & i'm only 13. but at least im a bit mature.

  • You've never been to a 3rd world country and experienced it, and NEITHER HAVE I. You have no EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE therefore your argument has no validity. Real people, take their experiences and view their reality that way, not basing it on places other than your birth. Other countries use force to control people, the US uses propaganda from the right and the left. But parties don't exist, people do. But even if we have it good, isn't it human nature to want it to be better? Instead of comparison?

  • i know i have not seen this stuff myself, but i have heard and learned about it and how it has happened in the past so i do have a certain level of proof i am basing my statements on. & yes, i do realize we have had much propaganda but it still hasn't gone to a point as bad as other countries have had it. & yes, it is but sometimes you will have to appreciate what you've got. "human nature" doesnt justify everything. selfishness is also human nature, but that doesnt mean we shouldnt overcome it.

  • Regardless of whether i think it's human nature or not, is wanting to improve my life quality really that selfish?

  • hm, i never said it was? that was just an example. it isn't selfish. but i just view it as sort of ungrateful to take such a strong stance on something when it isn't even that bad. i'd like a few things in the US to improve too, who doesn't...

  • Well if you think it "isn't that bad" then that's a relative point. In which is different for you and myself. So i just wouldn't make such a big deal out of it. We have different opinions.

  • true. er, sorry for picking a fight in the first place then. i was feeling pretty argumentative at the time

  • What Happened To Baby I'm An Anarchist?

    Sell.Outs.

    Not So Much The Song But Endorsing Of Rock the Vote

  • or they actually want to educate people about voting and help get the message across that you should vote.

    but nah, let's just automatically assume they "sold out" for something that isn't even a money-making orginization, but one that is meant to HELP America.

  • shut the hell up man they sold out for a good cause. your a massive twat

  • no you are, golf sucks

  • excellent comeback

  • your a comeback, golf sucks

  • they got popular enough to make money, thats the bottom line bovine

  • "rock the vote" crossed a line.

    sell outs

  • i live in canada, but if i lived in the U.S i would vote for barack obama :)

  • hell yeah ron paul

  • id vote for weenie day

  • ***ideologies***

  • I think they are saying to burn down the elections polls.

  • they're getting people to vote so we dont get stuck with a dipshit for a president, like we have been for quite some time.

    they're singing what they believe in, not what "PUNK" believes in, thats the real punk, thinking for yourself, not the way a group of people does.

    fuckin assholes.

    peace

  • Skerratt911: You got the wrong concept of punk. Punk is basically people whom do not believe in gorvenment or religion, hate the mainstream, whom show those feelings through fast thrashie rock and dress "punk" to show opposition towards the above mention systems "gov. and religion". What you believe in isn't any type of punk...it's crap. Have a nice day. :)

  • No.

  • Dear idl,

    You're an idiot and you have no idea what you're talking about. Punk is not mindlessly rejecting everything that is "mainstream" just to show how totally fucking alternative you are.

  • well man, wed be fucked if their wasnt a form of government. anarchy doesnt work, trust me.

  • I never said I believed in the concept of anarchy, Golf3rM4n. lol. I was just explaining what punk was since my dearest and oldest friends(since elementary) are punks themselves(not that I agree with all their ideologie), not I. Please learn how to read. Also, I was just explaining how they exploit music in order to get people to register to vote. Those rich fucks always thinking about themselves, their wallets, and the so called "nation"....puff yea right. It just disturbs me.

  • influencing young people to vote is a great thing retard!

    like skerratt911 said, we wont get stuck with a dipshit president like we do now if more vote.

    go Against Me!

  • wow totally lame

  • As much as I like new wave, does anyone else feel that they've gone against what they've always sung about?

  • Yes, but it's called growing up.

  • Gosh, I'm just glad you kids won't have to drink any Kool-aid once Obama is President....Rock On and please get out of bed to vote in November.

  • mommyerma: "Rock On and please get out of bed to vote in November". Well, that's definetly not a way to motivate "kids" to vote.

  • This is perfect.

    BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT.

  • Jackass. You probably voted for Bush too.

  • I like these guys they don't play up to the punk stereotype, they just do what they want. That and the music's good.

  • you cant name one real punk band that plays up the punk stereotype.

    doing what you want is a 'punk stereotype.' which is in turn not a stereotype

  • Wow... can we stop arguing about anarchism and just be glad that Against Me! is actually doing something about the system instead of bitching about it like nearly every other punk band?

  • Amen.

  • "eating the peanuts that the parties have tossed you in the back seat of your father's new ford you beleive in the ballot, beleive in reform. you have faith in the elephant and jackass and to you solidarity is a four letter word"

  • O snap!

  • So does Against Me! still consider themselves an anarchists? I'm not sure how they really can after this...

  • they never considered themselves anarchists you fool. It was just a song.

  • Correction: Tom Gabel did and still does consider himself an anarchist. The rest of the band, maybe not.

  • Correction: Tom Gabel did and still does consider himself an anarchist. The rest of the band, maybe not.

  • well then thats lame

  • Are you saying that Tom Gabel being an anarchist is lame? Also, if you ever actually listen to any of the stuff Against Me! put out while they were still good, you'd have a hard time NOT hearing anarchist undertones in virtually every one of their songs.

  • apparently not. Why dont we argue on the internet about it? asshole

  • Yes, you call me a fool even though you had no clue what you were talking about, but I'm the asshole. Forgive me for wondering whether you thought it's lame that someone is an anarchist or that it's lame that they're now putting out PSAs for Rock the Vote..

  • your right, you are an asshole

  • Rather an asshole than a jackass like you :)

  • Oh man that was brilliant.

  • Saweet.

  • vote only because of swing issues. Nice, because they matter so much DURING the election.

  • Right, because poverty, war and health care are only swing issues used by politicians to gain votes and have absolutely no relevance to real life.

    Ass.

  • Will there be a full video for this I wonder...

  • sweet

  • Simply amazing.

  • absolutely love this.

  • this is awesome i'm so glad they did this

  • Love it.

  • first
