A video of a pogoing Royal Australian Army band playing a brassed-up version of RATM's signature track Killing in the Name on Mt Panorama during the Bathurst 1000 this weekend, replete with dance troupe comprised of NSW police officers, may help to answer that question.
Although this was a mostly instrumental rendition, the lyrics to the song focus on the historical connection between American authorities and racist militias like the Ku Klux Klan.
Bearing that in mind, the reader is encouraged to decide for themselves whether the police shaking it to the track were aware of the irony, or whether they were, in fact, performing a victory dance on the grave of the anti-commercial grunge revolution.
