From https://promusicianhub.com/what-is-punk-music/

In its most basic definition, Punk music is a manifestation of the rebellious, anti-authority punk subculture that peaked in the second half of the 1970s, primarily in the US and the UK. Not just a music genre, but punk is more of an attitude, a philosophy, and a whole way of being.

Sure it doesn't sound like punk music, but they sure as hell ripped a massive middle finger at authority.

Edited and joke removed. After reading that buzz feed article I realized that this is not the time for humor.

OP, you're admiring a hateful, racist, disgusting excuse of a human being.

Admiring and bringing up excuses for a nazi makes you a nazi. Period.

And how exactly am I admiring this band? I had never heard of these guys before the news story, and I agree this Healy dude sounds like a dickhead. I was simply asking a question about the band and punk movement.

Well you said he was just being a provocateur when I brought up how racist and fucked up he is. That's defending and making excuses.

Ok, ill give you the benefit of the doubt and explain it to you as best as I can: Being a personification of White Nationalism is not punk and is not ripping a massive middle finger at authority, it simply is being a Nazi. And as such, he deserves no admiration and no discussion. The only thing he deserves is a massive ripping of his middle frontal gyrus.

Relevant case study on the punk/neo nazi connection.

Oh this was on Green Room!

If you enjoy horror/thriller, I definitely recommend this one. It's chilling.

Has Patrick Stewart playing the head of the neo nazi gang. Never seen him play a villain before, he really should be given more roles like this.

I am not familiar with the band, could you link the buzz feed article you are referring to?
