For International Women's Day, we've put together a playlist for raging out, featuring songs by Alanis Morissette, Megan Thee Stallion, Sate, Jessie Reyez, Lady Gaga and more. It's important to celebrate the wins, the political and social gains that we have made over the decades.
Sometimes, you just need to rage-out about the overwhelming injustices that persist. We hope this playlist is cathartic for you."You Oughta Know" was the rage anthem for a generation when it was released in 1995, a four-minute, take-no-prisoners attack directed at an ex who really deserved it. It would be a mistake, though, to read "You Oughta Know'' solely as a ball of anger.
that "We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas." The backlash was swift: radio stations across America pulled their songs or banned them outright, columnists referred to them as traitors, they even received death threats. And in turn, the harrowing experience inspired one their most popular and enduring songs.
Get ready to rage with this spirited anthem by Los Angeles outfit the Linda Lindas. Punk-infused "Racist, Sexist Boy" doesn't let its subject off the hook for being, well, racist and sexist. The band members, who are still teenagers, use energetic guitar riffs and commanding vocals to amplify their candid lyrics.
