I do not agree with their political views, but skinheads make pretty nice punk music

  What skinheads are you talking about? The ones before the movement became filled with nazis or the ones after?

    The important question.

    I’m not sure. I did not know there was a distinction. I really do not care about the nazi or racist part, but considering the downvotes, that doesn’t matter much. I mostly like the energy, maybe you can call it hate or a general feeling of the unheard. Also the bands that have this raw vocalist, sound pretty cool. (But I’m sure that’s not an exclusively skinhead thing.) But anyways, it’s a powerful emotion to base your music upon.

    I’m curious what the distinction is. Maybe you can name some bands? In the palylist I’m currently listening, I’ve heard “B squadron” and “plan of attack”, which sound pretty nice, aesthetically.

      The distinction is that, originally, skinheads were basically just bald punks. Then the look and scene were co-opted by the neo-nazi movement to a point where “skinhead” became synonymous with “neonazi.”

      Original skinheads = good kids who generally got on really well with the Jamaican rudeboys. People were generally apolitical but were connected by class (working class) not divided by colour. Eventually created 2-tone music.

      Nazi skinheads = Not remotely friends with rudeboys. Probably see them as sub-human. Haven’t created anything new musically (that I’m aware of).

      Punk = type of music played by both lovely accepting people and terrible scum too.

    Not at all. It’s all about emotion and hate is one of the most powerful emotions. That’s why social media is running so hot these days and I don’t agree with general social media either.

      So the hate in Nazi music resonates with you?

  If it is done by skinheads then it is automatically NOT punk. Just like No Doubt does not make “ska”, but especially, very much, absolutely more so!

  source

  • abbadon420@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    That’s an interesting take. I do agree that “No Doubt” is not ska. But than again, I’ve never thought that it might be ska.

    I think “skinhead punk” is a very succinct, very separate subgenre of punk. But punk nonetheless.

    I get why you deny it though, because punk is supposed to be the very political opposite of that. In that sense I do agree with you that skinhead punk is not punk at all.

  You don’t know the difference between Nazis and punk.

  If you called a pink kid a skinhead you’d get your has beat by him. They are the opposite of skinheads.

  Congrats, you’re also one of them

  • abbadon420@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    One of what? People who like to step outside of the beaten track every once in a while? You think listening to hateful music makes me hateful? I’m guessing you, re also someone who thinks a mosh pit is a bad thing, don’t you?

      OP : “I like racist music because of the instrumental in a genre about the message!”

  Any fan (or hater) of punk will tell you:

  “Nice punk music” is an oxymoron.

  source

  • abbadon420@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Nice! I mean… fuck off!

  Nazi skinheads don’t make better music than punks or sharps or the original skinheads (lower class british multi racial sub culture)

  source

  • abbadon420@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Yeah I get that, but it’s a good gateway drug into actually appreciating punk. You start with “skinhead punk” because they kind of have this reputation that you’re curious about. And suddenly you find that you like punk.

    source

    • HikingVet@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      No it isn’t. Pop punk is a good gateway. Nazi skinhead punk is nazi propaganda.

  As a punk from the 1970s, I can tell you most definitely that skinheads and punks are different groups and listen to different music.

  Nazi punk might be my least favorite Nazi genre but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t shake my ass to some ROME or Burzum every now and again

  source

  • abbadon420@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I’ve heard Burzum, but that’s not nazi punk. There’s not enough hate for things that are not actually the problem, but you’re to dumb to realize. It’s basically just doom-metal.

      You missed the message of my comment entirely and I was pretty sympathetic to you.

      Nazi punk: not good

      Nazi black metal (NSBM): regrettably pretty good

      Nazi neofolk: regrettably pretty good

      No, Burzum is nazi black metal.
