Our Anthem Against The Elite
Today, we’re diving into our nu-metal political anthem raging against the elite’s stranglehold on our world, our 2024 track Monopoly. Stream it now on YouTube and let the anger ignite as you read on.
The Elite's Playbook: Owning Everything, Leaving Us Nothing
Imagine a world where a tiny power-hungry elite controls it all: land, wealth, even the air we breathe, while we scramble for crumbs. Monopoly lays it bare with its opening lines: "This is the end of the road, can't you see? Bought up the land, like Monopoly, the rich get richer, we're just debris. In their world of lies, ain't no damn reprieve." Sound familiar? It's the grim truth of a system where billionaires like tech moguls and oil barons hoard 70% of global wealth, while half the population scrapes by on less than $6 a day, per Oxfam's 2024 report. These aren't just the rich; they're architects of a rigged game, hiding in fortified bunkers as the planet they've plundered collapses. The bottom half of humanity fights for a mere 0.4% of the wealth. That's not a system; it's a massacre, and we're the ones bleeding.
The elite don't care about the earth. They ravage it for profit, with deforestation, oil spills, and mining tearing open the planet like a wound. The UN's 2023 climate report warns of a 3°C temperature rise, dooming ecosystems while they lounge in climate-controlled luxury or plot escapes to space. Space colonization? It's their next frontier. Tycoons like Musk and Bezos funnel billions into off-world ventures, not for humanity's sake, but to abandon us when the earth they wrecked stops sustaining life. Meanwhile, they keep us trapped as consumers buying their overpriced products or as workers toiling for scraps to sustain their empires. Monopoly's chorus rips into this cycle: "The rich get richer, we're just debris." We're enraged, and you should be too.
Their Empire: Power, Lust, and Division
But it gets uglier! The 1% don't just crave your work; they want your spirit. Monopoly exposes their "made-up hate" that divides us, fueling conflicts while they profit. But there's a darker truth: their world of power and depravity. Think of elite scandals like Epstein's network or the whispered "open secrets" of exclusive gatherings where the powerful indulge while we're distracted by their media spectacles. The 2020 Epstein case revealed how the ultra-wealthy protect their own, building untouchable webs of corruption. They trap us in their system, pushing us to consume, comply, or worse, get entangled in their shadows. Our lyric "They consume the earth, just watch it bleed" isn't just about the environment; it's about humanity, drained by their greed and immorality.
And the worst part? They're beyond accountability. While we drown in debt or dodge bullets in their proxy wars, they're plotting their getaway with fortified bunkers and space plans. A 2022 Forbes article highlighted billionaires snapping up doomsday shelters at unprecedented rates, preparing for the chaos they're creating. It's darkly absurd: they ruin the planet, then build fortresses to watch it crumble. Monopoly throws it back at them: "They've got bunkers deep underground, while we burn up, without a sound." It's a defiant jab at their cowardice, and we're not here for their games.
Flipping the Board: Fighting Back with Their Tools
But here's where the despair ignites into resistance. The world may be a mess, but we're not fading silently. Monopoly closes with a pledge: "We're at the end, but we won't go quietly, gonna bring the whole system down violently." Our strategy? We weaponize their own tools. The generative AI they built to manipulate and exploit creatives becomes our ally. We craft music and visuals, like Monopoly's chaotic video inspired by The Purge and Joker, using AI-driven tools to amplify our message without their bloated budgets. We're trying to hack into their algorithms, optimizing posts on platforms like BlueSky, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube to open minds or confirm to the ones aware that “you’re not alone”.
This isn't about playing their game; it's about shattering their board. The tech they use to monitor and control, we repurpose to spread our rebellion. Every stream of Monopoly, every share, chips away at their empire. We’re not the biggest band out there, but we’re a spark in the dark, and we hope that you’ll catch the flame. Bands like Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down lit the path with songs like Sleep Now in the Fire and B.Y.O.B., and we're honored to carry that fire.
Why This Matters
It’s easy to feel crushed under the weight of the 1% elite, to feel there’s nothing we can do. They control the systems, the wealth, the future, and they’re ready to bail when it all crashes. But Monopoly isn’t just nihilistic noise, it’s a battle cry for anyone who’s had enough. We’re not selling empty hope; we’re channeling fury into action. Unity is our strength, and every voice counts. Stream Monopoly, blast it loud, and know you’re not alone. The earth’s bleeding, the elites are laughing, but we’re still here, and we’re loud as hell. Join us, and let’s tear their game apart. No more playing nice, no more bending the knee!
