      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.

        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

          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

    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.

    My first thought was that most punk bands view “liberal” as an insult, but that’s probably not what they mean…

      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.

      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.
