You got me, I didn't realize this was satire until this line.
You're making it sound like the band's name is intended to express their frustration with parking meters.

Since when have RATM ever been anything other than highly political?
Have you ever paid attention to their lyrics from back in the day?
No?
The lyric "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" wasn't about your mom or your teacher or your swim coach.
You should attend a Mogwai show. How loud they were was probably illegal in the country where I saw them.
"Killing in the name of" was very much political and extremely controversial.
