Impact On Popular Culture
There are several musical adaptations taken from the War of Wrath:
- The power metal group Blind Guardian, in their album Nightfall in Middle-Earth (based on The Silmarillion), recorded a track in which is performed a short conversation between Morgoth and Sauron at the end of the War of Wrath. The track's name is, exactly, "War of Wrath".
- The epic/gothic metal group Battlelore, a Finnish band whose every song deals with Middle-earth, in their album Sword's Song have a track entitled "The War of Wrath". The lyrics tell the tale of Morgoth's demise.
- The progressive rock band Ainur has written a song titled "War of Wrath" included in their first album From Ancient Times (2006).

“The lowest form of popular culture—lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives—has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
“Too many existing classrooms for young children have this overriding goal: To get the children ready for first grade. This goal is unworthy. It is hurtful. This goal has had the most distorting impact on five-year-olds. It causes kindergartens to be merely the handmaidens of first grade.... Kindergarten teachers cannot look at their own children and plan for their present needs as five-year-olds.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
“All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“Ours is a culture based on excess, on overproduction; the result is a steady loss of sharpness in our sensory experience. All the conditions of modern life—its material plenitude, its sheer crowdedness—conjoin to dull our sensory faculties.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
