What about them? I assume they count as right wing punk.
I have never listened to Angry Aryans but I think Skrewdriver was actually a good band musically. I won't listen to any of the music they made after they became White Power punk poster children though. I think they only made one non-RAC album and I'm not sure if any of the other members even stayed after they went white power -- just the frontman. But then he got stomped. Really he died in a car wreck but I know of people who think he was murdered for his 'right wing' views.

Yeah. This is interesting because it would depend on what is meant by "right wing". Im a Conservative guy and in American politics Conservatives are known as "right wing". However, in other parts of the world "right wing" means something very different. Now we are talking skin head, racist, nazi types. If we are talking American conservative "right wing" then i would be interested. In fact I would argue that punk is the perfect venue for conservative ideaology. Small government, less intrusive government, more power to the people, etc.. etc..

I wasn't trying to goad you into making racist statements or anything (but you did it anyway).
I have never said anything approaching racist. If you're referring to the wetback comment, wetback's (illegal Latin Americans) are not a race. Latin American's of almost entirely of European or Indigenous descent, as well as the Mestizos, can all be wetbacks. It's a status one can opt to have, not one a person is born with, and it crosses Latin America's ethnic divisions.

I don't believe punks have the right to stomp on hippies no matter how scummy they are.
Well, it's not a right limited to punks, but - to be brief - I don't agree with most of (classical) Liberal thought. In this instance this is manifested by my not believing hippies have "human rights".

Quote:

So another serious question is: Why do you stomp on hippies?
Because I strongly dislike hippie culture and view it as a pernicious problem. Hippie culture destroys that which is beautiful and fosters much that is bad. As hippies are the carriers of this cultural problem, the response seems appropriate.

If you think that's appropriate then I would suggest that it's you thats the problem.

All music can make a point.
If someone wants to make a right-wing punk song, I really don't know why not.
One of my band-mates is right-wing. (But everyone else isn't, so we generally stay away from politics).
I think that music and politics are in a long and inappropriate relationship. Music is about things which effect people, and politics' influence on people is tiny compared to other people with no political power. People with political power will smash your life once in a blue moon. Random people will always be smashing your life.
And yet, politics have such a huge influence in songs.
I think it's just one of those things that's fun to write about.

I find it beyond ironic that a genre of music originally calling for the abolition of all government is now calling for the support of the right wing......

fairborn420 02-15-2010 11:32 AM

What would be even more ironic would be that same genre of music supporting the left wing since it is the left wing that is actually for bigger more intrusive government.

Stone Birds 02-15-2010 12:19 PM

Punk generally insults government, so since last decade was made up of bush we had a lot of left-wing, so now in a couple months or so expect a bunch of punkies insult obama and the democratic party

The fact that there's a "punk" band called the Angry Aryans pisses me off to no end.
