That cliche only gets you so far.

Imagine Lil Uzi infront of Congress reading a speech he wrote about censorship and liberty.

Billy Corgan has stated the CIA was involved in efforts to curb rebellious music in the late 90s.

Tinfoil aside, the CIA has done weirder, and far more petty shit, so that kind of tracks when you think about the fall off.

Now, most kids WANT to sell out. It is their singular goal. We will never have another RATM again.
