Vague anger in the same sort of way that made Linkin Park and emo popular.

I find a lot of Rage's songs fun, but they're retarded. Much like most of their political stances. It's probably good they don't take more political stances, considering Zach championed Peltier's cause for years without understanding the case and Tom Morello thought it was a good idea to wear a Che Guevara shirt in a concert in an area of Florida with a huge refugee population.

Imagine if they put that much effort into their lyrics instead of safe, generic top 40 rage.
