Some musicians take a derogatory stand on politics in their music just to rebel and be thought of as "cool" by their main buyers, which in this case are rebellious teens...so in the musicians case, this would be using it to their advantage...whether it's their personal belief or not I guess no one but them would ever truely know. But sometimes bands use politics [or anti-politics, if you will...] as a scheme just to sell to a certain group.
