It's been more than 25 years since the Swedish hardcore punk band Refused released their seminal album, The Shape of Punk to Come. Their most famous song from that album, New Noise, has been called a political anthem and a protest song. It's been used in the Palme d'Or-winning film Triangle of Sadness as well as in the hit show The Bear.
