Does EDM have a nazi problem? Gonna need an explanation on that
It’s 2024. I’m more surprised when a subculture doesn’t have a Nazi problem, sadly.
The oddest thing to me was: even Bronies. Even Bronies have/had a Nazi problem.
I present, ‘Aryanne’:
I think; if you dig deep enough in any larger fandom, you are bound to find some neo-nazis. A very loud minority of bronies painted a very large target on the rest of us with these beliefs. Especially because the outrage-fueled media ran off with a half cocked story again…
I still haven’t found out whether Aryanne was originally created as a joke or not. Unfortunately it’s hard for a brony to really-really hate a cute fictional pone like that, and there are a couple of great stories with her as a character (on the bad guy’s team of course).
I of course hate nazis with a passion, but nazi characters in fiction can be a useful vehicle for storytelling under the right circumstances.
Yeah maybe it’s changed recently with the growth in popularity but as someone who’s gone to raves and festivals for well over a decade it’s always been one of the most welcoming cultures.
I know the more major festivals have gotten less so over the years but it’s more just generic assholes not Nazis.
@frog_brawler sounds like post10
@frog_brawler oh he’s a YouTuber, cleans out blocked culverts and storm drains. Turns out Jello Biafra sounds a lot like him I never knew :ablobgrin:
Also this, though it is more subtle in the lyrics, but not much if you are in the know:
Nazi punks fuck off! I’m not a huge Kennedys fan but I’ll blast that one any time.
I despise (the sound of) punk but you gotta respect the whole pro-working class, anti-nazi movement.
That same man said in the same song…
Punk ain’t no religious cult
Punk means thinking for yourself
Yeah. Respect.
I just wish punk wasn’t so grating on my ears so I could get into it more. It’s by far my least favorite genre lol
Same. Not a fan of the music in particular, but the lyrics kick ass. Same with a lot of super heavy metal. The two genres that make hearing the words the most difficult also have the most inspiring, poignant, and kick ass lyrics. lol
I always liked “Master Race in Outer Space” by The Vandals. It’s about loading all of the nazis into rockets and launching them to the moon. Good stuff.

You want moon nazis? That’s how you get moon nazis.
Beating up nazis and other fascists is self defense.
Violence works. People don’t wanna hear it but it works and is a useful and effective tool.
Furries took up the baseball bat of justice and drove the nazis out so that they had to form the (short-lived) fashcon
