Should probably be a community for these kinds of questions, but are Lucid Planet safe?

Nazis ruin everything. Just like how the Nazis ruined the skinhead subculture.

The Youtube algorithm just showed me a video about that the other day. I didn't even know that they originally had nothing to do with being right-wing fascists.

Unfortunately any anti-establishment counter-culture movement that is predominantly white will attract Nazis. And these nazis sometimes don't even know they are one. You even see it in some far left movements. There are people in those movements who call themselves lefties yet have espoused right wing fascist ideology

Then you've got bands that died in the 80s while at the time too obscure to be asked about POTUS or PM. For example: Brocas Helm.

I hear rumours they were totally satanists, and I don't mean temple, but who knows what is true.

Dethklok seems pretty safe.

There isn't all that much out there about Brendon Small though and what I could find he should be a decent enough person....plus I liked Metalocalypse quite a bit, so that helps me 😁

Dunno much about Bryan Beller, Nili Brosh or Gene Hoglan, just saw a few random videos with them so hard to gauge.

Just listen to cattle decap. The morally superior band. Kidding. They're pretty great tho, more people should listen to cattle decapitation. Especially the later albums which are more approachable

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

That's an interesting take. I love Cattle Decapitation's old stuff but their newer stuff never really grabbed me.

Either way, to each their own. Cattle Decapitation is amazing either way!

Edit: I didn't see that you specified "more approachable". You're 100% correct in that. It's 5am here, sorry.

Metal bands are mostly nazis? Is that the news "satanic scare" like we had in the 80's?

[–] [email protected] 56 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (4 children)

Not metal generally, but you should look into Black Metal. It's a real problem there... :-/

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Of course there are nazis bands, especially I'm black metal. But that's a minority, and they generally suck anyway. But I'm not into BM at all personally, so I don't bother tbh.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago

Lol, a lot of those names are a little too on the nose. I mean Kristalnacht and Infernall SS? Can't imagine making a wrong assumption on those

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (2 children)

says Death Metal

links Black Metal

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (5 children)

That's why I stay away from these labels. Not against them, but I can't tell what is what.

I'd say yes. According to their German Wikipedia entry, they support Sea Shepherd, environment and wildlife protection, and indigenous people in their fight against deforestation.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Varg supports 90% of that and is also varg (they are probably fine I am just doing comedy)

This is very much a Slayer moment, except that reading the bands and the members, Hanneman's Araya's and King's wiki pages is quite a rollercoaster

People who listened to Lostprophets in 200X

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago
[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'd argue that the problem with Lost Prophets wasn't necessarily their political views though...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah, it was entirely the music.

Saw a random YouTuber I thought I liked do a livestream. He usually does reactionary or random updates content.

I go in and he's ragging on Biden and I see people doing SuperChats with pro-Trump messages and just casual racism. Apparently, Biden's PR person probably should have been white according to these guys. I ducked out, was quite sad.
