RAC Appreciation Thread (Neo-Nazi Punk FTW)

[The Batlord]

Man, I don't want to sound like a lameass who's spamming this **** for attention, but this **** is so much fun when it doesn't suck ass and you can make out the lyrics. But who the **** actually listens to this **** but me? Swastika-wielding Nazi cheerleaders are simply too much win to deny cause they're all awful people. I don't want to have to go to Stormfront to talk about Final War and No Remorse but god damn it I'm at my limit.

Honestly I'm not quite sure what you're saying.

Would you like these bands if they were just typical punk bands singing **** the USA or is it something appealing about the Nazi taboo?

[The Batlord]

Yes. But seriously aside from Final War most of these bands wouldn't particularly register with me if not for the ironic thrill. Found a fair few who were legit entertaining on their own musical merits, but not so much that I'd seriously care if they were just regular punk bands. But the Nazi taboo is ten tons of fun to me after a decade and a half of metal bands singing about Satan and serial killers till it got stale.

So long as they remain fun praising Hitler and shouting racial epithets then I'm on board and don't really feel the need to justify them musically as if RAC isn't mostly garbage with a few decent bands to keep me going.

But seriously Final War is kind of fantastic and Glory Unending is easily a top 10 punk album.

Is there a small part of you that thinks maybe they're right?

[Mondo Bungle]

is all the stuff that sounds exactly the same but with different lyrics not fun

Not at all. I mean I guess I'm at least vaguely dubious in a curious, intellectual sense about whether or not multiculturalism is 100% good or has legit problems that should be discussed in a nonpolarized manner, but I definitely don't believe it's a bad thing anymore than I think anything is 100% bad or good. Other than that, no, and even then I have no sympathy for their views and conclusions on multiculturalism.

*shrug*

It's top notch pop punk/melodic hardcore with more diversity than many non-racist bands afaic.

Generally no as far as punk that's Skrewdriver-level. Fascism takes the edge off songs that make no impression.

so literally the prejudice is the only thing making it fun

[OccultHawk]

Do you think it's possible the world would be a better place if the Nazis had managed to kill every single non-aryan?

The stuff I actually like is at least fun enough that it's not tedious to listen to, but yes the prejudice is the main selling point.
