Anarchist art collective Indecline used a Get Dead cover of "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by The Stooges6 for their project entitled "Hate Breed"1 which was described by Rolling Stone as "20 white men donned T-shirts, MAGA hats and custom collars and were paraded down the Hollywood Walk of Fame by people of color and members of the queer community."1
