This is wonderful, I happened to love the punk rock music but never knew that they hated Nazis (good to know). Love that they told him to leave! Smite is good!

The Dead Kennedys put out a song in the ‘80’s that was literally called “Nazi Punks Fuck Off”. It’s classic!

Lyrics from 1970's Sex Pistols.

God save the Queen

The fascist regime

They made you a moron

A potential H bomb

And then there's "Take the Skinheads Bowling," by Camper Van Beethoven. A nonsensical yet prescient song.

The very concept of punk culture is antithetical to any totalitarian ideology , which mandates conformity and oppresses people, be it fascism, national socialism or communism. Punks in the DDR (the old East Germany) were regime opponents, who were active in the movement, which eventually brought down the corrupt and oppressive SED regime. There were, of course, no punks in National Socialist Germany (1933-1945), but there were non-conformist youth movements such as he Swing Kids, Edelweiss Pirates and Meuten who opposed the Nazis. They would sometimes get into street fights with Hitler Youth in their age range.

Thank you for even MORE information about the Punks in Nazi Germany! Bravo for them! I have German ancestry but it's not current enough to say I knew any Punk Rockers or any others from Germany but I applaud them just the same.

Yeah. What a brave crowd, risking everything to fight that lone man.

California, uber alles!

What a bunch of MAGA morons.

Where are the fucking police?

The Punk Rock way is the American way. No Nazis here!! We’re all human beings — Nazis are NOT! Just. Ask. God. !!!

I'd like to see a lot more of this - not people shouting and shoving, but just saying out loud and proud to MAGA idiots, ICE agents, NAZI flag wavers etc - "You a not a nice person. Your life choices suck!"

This short video is a must-see! It is delightfully inspiring! I plan to follow all of this young lady's advice about how to subtly but effectively let your feelings about the MAGAts you encounter in public be known.

Best part is he lost his hat and he's not getting it back. If I were there I'd have grabbed it and hung it on my wall as a trophy.

I heard about this a few days ago. My friends and I have a punk reaction/review channel on Twitch and YouTube. There's a guy in our Discord whose band played PRB, and was there when it happened.

Please don't show up as a Nazi at a Dead show either... I'm sure they won't beat you up, but they will "dose" you up and the next thing you know you're covered with beads and talking to the

lamppost like your new best friend.... c'mon people now...

When I was in the mosh pit enjoying Black Flag and Minor Threat, the nazi punks fuck off T-shirt was everywhere. And I still have most of my teeth.

Way to go, punks. 🤘

This is exactly why the Dead Kennedys wrote "Nazi Punks Fuck Off"

Yesss! We’ve been fighting this same shite way too long.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. Nobody is going to save us from the Taco Orange Menace. We will save ourselves as we rise up against this asshole and Punk Rockers are leading the way. Right on!

The shame is there are people out there making shirts and hats and all kinds of nasty Nazi junk. Just selling it should be a hate crime. It's not free speech, it's marketing, demographic studies and an actual business model, to promote hate.

Melissa Marcus's avatar

I agree that they should have shunned him. But crowd violence is quick and nasty and can turn ugly. They should not have gone after him physically. That's wrong. No one should be threatened with violence in a crowd. I am a Jew and I hate Nazis and trump and his Fascists.

YEEESSSSSSS! I would expect nothing less from my punk brothers and sisters!!! Rock on!

I wish I’d been there to throw some fruit ! I saw something fly and was envious.
