“Protesting for Profit” by the British speed/thrash metal band Kaine (featured on their albums After Extinction and Extinction’s End) is a politically charged track directed at performative activism, grifting, and the commercialization of social movements. Click play on the icon embedded above or here to play the single.
Written by bandleader Rage Sadler during the COVID-19 pandemic—a period marked by massive global protests and intense socio-political division—the song critiques individuals, corporations, and media figures who exploit public outrage, protests, and genuine human suffering purely for financial gain, media clout, or personal branding.
Instead of focusing on the actual merits of a cause, the song targets the cynicism of turning systemic issues and public anger into a profitable business model.
