List of neo-Nazi bands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Far-right extremist bands first appeared in the late 1970s. Punk rock, and genres influenced by it, had used National Socialist imagery for shock value, but those bands were usually not fascist. This changed when Oi!, a genre of punk rock, became popular with white power skinheads. The ambiguity of National Socialist chic can make it difficult to identify a band's intentions, especially when the bands do not express a clear political message. Academics usually identify these bands as neo-Nazi by analyzing their worldview.[1] National Socialist bands may break with white power music in that they maintain hardline National Socialist beliefs.[2]:2 In countries that were persecuted by the Third Reich, bands may criticize aspects of fringe National Socialists while adopting a somewhat modified worldview.[2]:78
