History YMMV / RiseAgainst

** Similarly, Paper Wings is sometimes thought of nostalgically in reference to ''VideoGame/Burnout'' 3 Takedown.

* HarsherInHindsight: The chorus of Mourning in Amerika, released in 2017, has become this following the Covid-19 pandemic, enforced social distancing protocols in many parts of the world, and a general sense of uncertainty on what to believe and when the world would return to a normal state.

* AwesomeMusic: Rise Against has introduced many fans to the punk genre over the years and even their earliest albums seem to have stood the test of time. Powerful riffs and thought-provoking lyrics throughout their discography have cemented them as a staple of the modern punk genre.

%%* SignatureSong: "Give It All", "Prayer of the Refugee", or "Savior".

* EarWorm: Plenty. "Savior", "Chamber the Cartridge", "Voices Off Camera", "Re-Education (Through Labor)" and "Help Is on the Way" come to mind.
** "Satellite" is also one, particularly if you're a fan of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSjHqVKX8IU See here.]]

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: After all, some of their songs have a point.

* BrokenBase: Mostly between fans of their older, more raw Hardcore sound, and fans of their later albums. Appeal To Reason was particularly divisive. Plenty of people like their whole discography though.
* EarWorm: Plenty. For instance, "Savior", "Chamber the Cartridge", "Voices Off Camera", "Re-Education (Through Labor)" and "Help Is on the Way" will stick in your head for a while.

* BlackSheepHit: "Swing Life Away"

* InMemoriam - "Make It Stop (September's Children)" was written to address the growing problem of homophobia, and to honor the memories of those that perished in the September 2010 suicides and those who have committed suicide for bullying, for whatever reasons, throughout time. It even quotes the names of the victims: Tyler Clementi (18), Billy Lucas (15), Harrison Chase Brown (15), Cody J. Barker (17), and Seth Walsh (13). The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP4clbHc4Xg video]] makes this even more apparent.

* TheOtherDarrin: There have been four guitarists in the band before Zach Blair. Chris Chasse was the only one to last more than an album (he played on The Sufferer and The Witness and Siren Song).

* MagnumOpus: ''The Sufferer and the Witness''. Older fans will contest this in favor of ''Revolutions per Minute''.

* SignatureSong: Arguably ''Prayer of the Refugee'', ''Savior'', ''Injection'' or ''Hero of War''.

* SugarWiki/AnvilsThatNeededToBeDropped: After all, some of their songs have a point.

* {{Anvilicious}}: Your enjoyment of the band depends almost entirely on how you feel about 90% of their songs being anvils.

* BadassDecay

* [[ItsPopularNowItSucks It's Popular, Now it Sucks]]
* [[Narm/{{Music}} Narm]]: "Hero Of War" is a bit over-the-top, even for them:
-->They took off his clothes\\
They pissed in his hands\\
I told them to stop, but then I joined in

* TearJerker: The radio sections in "Make It Stop (September's Children)," just for a start.
** The flash-forward sequence in the music video for the same song, where it showed the girl with her future wife. Oh god.
** At the three minute mark of the song (and the video), lead singer Tim [=McIlrath=] list off names of kids who committed suicide because of bullying. The video [[UpToEleven kicks it up]] even more so when clips from the "It Gets Better Project" on YouTube are inserted in as well. This troper had listened to the song a few times before looking at the vid... seeing the vid at that point caused her to break down and cry.
** In a completely different way, [[http://youtu.be/BblV6AQsd2s Swing Life Away]]. I dare you to listen to it without tearing up.
** About half the tracks from Revolutions Per Minute are this, especially Heaven Knows. "The day I learn to fly/ I'm never coming down"
** "The Approaching Curve" from The Suffer and The Witness. The spoken-word verses highlight the bleak lyrics about a failing relationship, while the chorus is perhaps Tim [=McIlrath=]'s most anguished performance.
