What exactly did Fight For Your Right change other than becoming an anthem for braindead frat boys too dumb to understand the irony of it?

Think of all the music videos of white guys rapping at a party that turns into a pie fights before "Fight For Your Right" was released. Then think of all the imitator videos that came out afterwards. That's right, you can't think of any because "Fight For Your Right" is one of a kind and no one dared to recreate its delicate choreography, its beautiful cinematography and biting wit worthy of Oscar Wilde.

nice use of irony, but the video is a parody of hair metal videos like i wanna rock, party all night, hot for teacher, etc.

sure it was misunderstood and became a jock jam, but it did represent a major change in popular music. it brought rap music into the mainstream, and convinced the industry that it was a viable format. essentially it made rap safe to touch. fight the power made it dangerous again.

This only wins for including "Fight the Power". That Beastie Boys song has become the jock anthem.
