      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.

      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.

      Nah, they want racist skinhead punks. Back when I was in the scene (I know, shut up grandpa) they were around. They got kicked out of pretty much every place we played because they were fucking shitbags repping the aryan nation bullshit and no one wanted to be around them. So they’d have their own Nazi bars and shitty venues to play. One group I knew played for a lot of events at a local racist biker gang clubhouse.

      They may not be skinheads anymore, but the type still exists. Biker gangs (not motorcycle clubs as a whole, the specific subculture which makes up a very tiny percent of both riders and clubs) are very anti-establishment and many of them are at least racially exclusive, with many more leaning into outright hate crimes.

          I have known exactly one MC that tried to be inclusive of LGBTQ+ people, women, and non-white people. They ended up being forced to be a supporter MC for the dominant MC of the area–you do this if you don’t want to have ‘unfortunate incidents’ happen to you–and ended up not being allowed to have women and black/Latino people in their club. They disbanded following the death of one of their founding members.
