Bad Religion have released a new song titled The Kids Are Alt-Right. Accompanied by an animated lyric video, The Kids Are Alt-Right delivers Bad Religion’s signature brand of socially conscious and sardonic punk.
A nod to The Who’s 1965 anthem, The Kids Are Alt-Right is a sharp takedown of the alt-right movement, captured in lyrics that cut right to the core (e.g., “Humanity is a nowhere scene/When everybody has an AR-15”). With its lyric video offering an onslaught of unnerving images—girls taking selfies in KKK hoods, chalk body outlines as constellations—The Kids Are Alt-Right returns to the powerful and melodic Southern California hardcore sound that Bad Religion defined on albums like Suffer, No Control, and Recipe For Hate.
