Why? The music is good, they're obviously talented. The lyrics are better than anything offered up by Crass or the various carriers of the emo plague. Further, not listening to the music & being offended by it accomplishes nothing.

That makes absolutely no sense. I'll tell you what it accomplishes: if someone sees you listening to a band with a name like "Angry Aryans" you will lose your friends. Fast.

And if you don't I don't like your friends.

I have every reason to be offended and pissed at a band called The Angry Aryans, since I'm Jewish. Plus, I looked them up and listened and they suck.

I think you're trying to say people should listen to it and THEN be offended by it?

No, rather that people grand-standing and calling a band morally repugnant is, at best, ego-stroking. More often than not it's people just turning off their critical thinking faculties, joining the crowd, and being against something because, hey, "it's not nice".

Real heroic attitude, that.

Being offended is a choice. I choose not to let things offend me.

Half my family are of Indian decent, why would I listen to a band who encourages hate against them?

I don't care how good the music is, Although i'm guessing it's probably some bland run of the mill 'Oi' crap. If it isn't i'll happily miss out.

I'm assuming the angry aryans are a racist band-and I find racism morally repugnant and those who practice it morally repugnant....and a lot of other people are offended by racist ass holes

You'll find a lot of people don't like ass holes.

Argry Aryans ARE indeed, a racist band, but I could totally see how a regular punk band would call themselves the Angry Aryans. That name, used ironically, could be epic.
Seeing as though aryans are people with light skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes, what doesn't give them the right to be angry? They are associated with Hitler's perfect army and although I do not have Aryan coloring, I could see how this association would piss me off. Angry that your ancestors were retarded. Angry that millions of people died without a good reason. Angry with the violence and hate associated with your heritage. The idea of that is very punk.
The fact that you're probably not a Nazi and you listen to Nazi punk because you like it makes it seem like you think racism and hate are cute and acceptable. I listened to a few Angry Aryan songs and the lyrics are all about how black people are savages. Why you think this is better then Crass absolutely perplexes me.
