Nazis love the aesthetic. Yes, both are extremely anti Nazi. That fact has never stopped Nazis from co-opting aesthetics.

Do they not get half of the music is about punching cops and figthing fascists? This is like when North Korea invited the Slovenian cover band Laibach, despite the fact Laibach are also a parody of fascism's inability to be original, complete with a kayfabe.

I know this because I listen to both KMFDM and Laibach. I am also fascinated by Satanism. I am also fascinated by Russian Cosmism. This person can be a nazi *because they are a nazi*. The other shit is just scare-points and giving cultural capitol of unrelated things to nazis they don't deserve.

Thats part of the point. Create as much confusion as possible, instill deep paranoia in the population and force a tribal response. It's how they thinkll they accelerate collapse and plunge the country into a purge.

Like I said, this fact has never stopped a fascist from using something. It's primarily the aesthetic. - KMFDM *sound* like Nazi rock. You know it isn't, I know it isn't, but if you only have a barely even surface level appreciation for art that doesn't matter to you

There's no such thing as nazi rock. You're thinking this. KMFDM predate this, forming in 1984.

KMFDM is also industrial rock (combining synthesizers and rock), not metal which is a different sub-genre of rock entirely. They do not sound alike at all.

I don't think this is the time to be discussing the specifics of KMFDM

What I'm saying is KMFDM is not nazi metal.

That's entirely beside the point and we shouldn't be litigating this right now. Murderous idiots do a lot of stupid shit and assuming KMFDM is Nazi music is a stupid thing to do, the Parkland shooter was a fan of And One but it doesn't matter at all

I made almost this exact point elsewhere in the thread. The defining trait of a nazi is not what they listen to or what they like, its that they're nazis.

Sure. But, imagine you're not someone at all familiar with this stuff. You see someone who loves Nazi shit, they listen to this weird German rock band. What are you, a normie in this hypothetical, going to presume about the music?

Point is, the outward appearance and the reactions of normies to that appearance are what the Nazis love about it. They do not care about the lyrics, they do not care about the band's politics. That it shocks soccer moms and hockey dads is what they want

On some level the irony of listening to anti Nazi music also probably appeals to them, or at least the ones capable of a modicum of analysis.

Its the same reason police listen to "fuck the police". It makes them feel important because they need to feel hated to feel needed.

i suspect they think its a description of the status quo instead of an incitement, idk

Remember that these are the same fucks who think Rage Against The Machine needs to be less political...

Paul Ryan, yes, that Paul Ryan, says his favorite band is Rage Against the Machine. What I'm trying to say is that Nazis and right wingers in general, are fucking morons.

Nazis have infiltrated long ago in the alternative movement.

It's like how Rage Against the Machine is popular in Right-Wing Circles
