Zach de la Rocha is not a 'punk' per se but he most definitely embodies the attitude, RATM was a necessary band in the 90s to prompt a generation to take a more critical look at the society they lived in. that's what we're missing in the mainstream now, the attitude of not giving a crap either way about what you do and just doing it because it needs to be done.

The ideology spouted by Rage Against the Machine did not prompt any "critical look at...society". I mean, apologetics for Marxist political theory and minority nationalist groups like AIM and the Black Panthers? That's tired politics; those ideologies were resounding failures when they crested in popularity (in the USA) in the 60s/70s. Not only that, but they shirked away from the most controversial aspects of their ideologies history (read: gulags, executions)....

RATM were a politically correct band, through and through. They were not critical, nor were they novel. They were simply trotted out a mutant form of the old and tired politics of a previous generation, a mutant form missing any substantially controversial aspects. Hence why you could walk into the mall and buy a CD of theirs.
