It's also something that's more related to some genres of music than others. It's definitely a much bigger issue in metal than you would find in, say, jazz or electronica. On the other hand, it's more overt than the kind of Nazis you find in country music, and they get much more publicized.
For a while, and I assume it continues today, there was/is a synth subgenre called fashwave, a Nazi-adjacent take on vaporwave. I imagine they have a niche elsewhere in the electro scene, and prob. industrial too?
Fascists have no culture of their own except violence, they have to steal everyone else's.
Well that's just lovely. I shouldn't be surprised.
Nazi Jazz
Hrm 🤔
There was a whole movie made about how the Nazis weren't all that into jazz.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108265/
Although they did record some as propaganda to play back at the west over the radio.
The good ol’ American tradition of forcing squaredance onto kids in schools—I was a victim myself from the ‘80s to the mid ‘90s—was borne of the fear and disgust of the black and Jewish roots of jazz, with Hitler idol Henry Ford being a big advocate for it.
Yep, and one of the ways cannabis was demonized in the first half of the 20th century was by associating it with jazz culture, making it very much something that "they" did.
Gabber pretty much inherited all the Nazis Punks threw out of concerts and are, to their credit, also not terribly unlikely to throw them out of concerts. There's definitely infiltration going on when it comes to Dark Techno. When it comes to Jazz it shouldn't be too terribly fucking surprising that white supremacists don't like it. It was outlawed in the Third Reich, though they also produced their own for foreign propaganda purposes.
Funny, I replied to someone else saying almost the exact same thing, but I couldn't remember the name of Charlie and his Orchestra. Thanks.
Someone else told me about the electronica thing earlier and I shouldn't have been surprised.
