Originally coined by the artist Zack De la Rocha from the song "Vietnow",
The song bashes right-wing Americans, which is what RATM are best at. Vietnow particularly focusses on right wing radio talk shows in America, like Rush Limbaugh for example.
From Genius:
"Well, I’m a truth addict, aw shit, I got a headrush"
This is a pun on drug usage and addiction. Kesha had ‘love’, Cobain had ‘heroin’, Winehouse had ‘alcohol’, Zack has truth. And all of this truth he is spitting is giving him a drug high.
Plato suggests in “The Republic” that the philosopher is always seeking the truth. By stating that he is a truth addict, Zack de la Rocha is saying he is a philosopher and not a Sophist, which were known to employ emotional persuasion not truth (like right-wing radio).
The term can also be used against the people who are right-wing extremists sarcastically and pejoratively.
