ANazi punk is aneo-Nazi who claims to be part of thepunk subculture. The term also describes the related music genre,[1] which is sometimes also referred to ashatecore. Nazi Punk music generally sounds like other forms ofpunk rock, but differs by having lyrics that express hatred of someethnic minorities,Jews,communists,homosexuals,anarchists, and other perceived enemies.
It is a subgenre of punk that contrasts sharply with theanti-authoritarian and frequentlyleftist ideas prevalent in much of the punk subculture.
In 1978 in Britain, thewhite nationalistNational Front had a punk-oriented youth organization called the Punk Front.[2] Although the Punk Front only lasted one year, it recruited several English punks, as well as forming a number ofwhite power punk bands such as Dentists, The Ventz, Tragic Minds, and White Boss.[3][4] In the early 1980s, thewhite power skinhead band Brutal Attack temporarily transformed into a Nazi punk band.[5]
