I thought this Rage Against the Machine music video was pretty relevant to both the Occupy Wall Street movement and the chapters about metal we had to read, since Rage Against the Machine is considered a metal band that fuses elements of punk and hip-hop into their music.
The video was directed by Michael Moore and shows the band playing in front of the New York Stock Exchange (the video was shot on Jan. 26, 2000). The song is largely about American corporate greed (which is largely reflected in the video) and the video shows a short clip from the 1999 Battle in Seattle which we had to read about in the Youth Subcultures book.
Here is the link to the video:

Amazing. And this was more than a decade ago. So timely. I guess nothing's changed.
