Sadly, there are a bunch of Nazi punk bands.
Hence the song Nazi Punks Fuck Off by the Dead Kennedys.
I’m sure you’re not wrong, but the song was written for concert goers, not fellow bands. Jello noticed some far right members of the audience and he was not having it.
I can’t really think of any halfway successful right wing punk acts. I guess I wouldn’t trust GG Allin not to vote for Trump.
- Smut Peddlars
- The Misfits
- Sex Pistols
- Ramones
All display right wing politics and achieved fame. The overall punk scene, yeah, is overwhelmingly leftist, which from my perspective is right and good, but we do need to be honest about the fact that Nazi punks both exist AND can fuck off
Aside from smut peddlars, haven’t all of those mostly achieved fame first and then revealed to be right wingers? Not super familiar with the scene so I may be wrong.
I guess you’re also a different person when you’re younger than 25 and playing in a punk band with no money, compared to a few years later when you cash in on old glory and gradually develop into more of an old fart with every passing day.
You grow up and you calm down and workin’ for the clampdown.
I think Johnny Rotten just lost his marbles as he got older. Live a long life of saying unfiltered controversial statements and you’ll wake up one day just being an old conservative fart. But at that point he’s hardly a representative of the punk movement.
As for Johnny Ramone… Yeah, point well taken. Still, one could argue it’s at least a different ballpark than the America first Kid Rock lunatics, but it’s meager comfort.
The Misfits and the Smut Peddlars I don’t know well enough to comment on.
“a bunch” is probably overselling. i would say it is possible to find nazi punk bands
Punks be like: “NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF!!!”
Ah, punks. Those famously establishment-loving scamps.
They love the cops!
/s
God. I miss the days of these requests and bridge burning as a young punk. “Oh you don’t want us to mention x y z” First song talk about whatever weird thing they don’t want you to. “Oh you don’t want us to swear?” First song getting the crowd to chat give me a f.u.c.k. “Oh we need to turn it down?” Crank it on the second song. We are young and angry and we were never expecting to get paid this all means nothing to us. Side note. Always be nice to the staff and sound person they are just doing their bullshit jobs.
A guy with a mohawk on stage streaming about how you need to conform to the establishment and listen to the man?
My first thought was that most punk bands view “liberal” as an insult, but that’s probably not what they mean…
No this guy definitely meant he wanted some mouth breathers.
Not hard. Plenty of punks are commies, most are anarchists or anarchy adjacent
Unfortunately, there are nazi punk bands as well.
Yeah but nazi punks fuck off!
So that’s the issue right there, liberal can be used for both sides of the political spectrum
No it can’t. It refers to centrists. If you’re a Nazi, it refers to people left of you. If you’re an anarchist, it refers to people right of you. It’s the same group.
Yeah but unfortunately this person is probably using the Americanized version of liberal.
Oh boy, it’s the Peach Pits, with their hit songs “Arrest the Rioters”, “Corporations are people too”, “Fuck the Disabled”, “Outsource for efficiency”, and “One Bathroom One Gender”!
How come they’re not more popular!?
“hi we’re a quintet of vegan anarchist transbians, fuck the liberals!”
Actually, the gen z youth tend to view the word “lesbian” as liberal. The only reason you wouldn’t just say gay woman is if you think female homosexuality is different to enby and male homosexuality, which is a right wing myth. Older gay women accept the regressive terms but the youth these days are leaving them behind. In 20 years, the word will be viewed the same as words like “transvestite” and “homo”. It’ll be old people slang.
wait, are we not discoursing he/him and transmasc leabians any more???
What’s the point when the entire word is originated in misogyny?
I got something to say
I saved a baby today
And it doesn’t matter much to me as long as it’s not on welfareI got something to say!
Your mother consented today!
And it doesn’t matter much to me! As long as she enjoyed herself and had a pleasurable time!
“Seeking water that isn’t wet”
90% of punks are not liberals. In fact, the UK punk scene in the 70s arose as a reaction to Thatcher’s neoliberalism. Punks hate liberals.
Nazi punks are the ultimate oxymoron. How the fuck can you be anti establishment and still support systemic evil?
NPFO
I’m sure you can find some Maoist/Trotskyist punks if that’s what you want
Curious about how the comments went on this one.
They’re absolutely hilarious.
