They would hate the soft, crying, inflectional infants of the modern left. Those kind of people existed in 84 too, and about 1/3rd of DK's songs are making fun of them (including the one with the N-bomb). I actually think about some of the people on this message board when I hear that song.
Quote So, you've been to school squishy young leftists that know better than anybody else despite the safety bubble they live in (provided by daddy) are the worst.For a year or two And you know you've seen it all In daddy's car Thinking you'll go far Back east your type don't crawl Playing ethnicky jazz To parade your snazz On your five-grand stereo Braggin' that you know How the n*****s feel cold And the slum's got so much soul It's time to taste what you most fear Right Guard will not help you here Brace yourself, my dear Brace yourself, my dear It's a holiday in Cambodia It's tough, kid, but it's life It's a holiday in Cambodia Don't forget to pack a wife Title: Re: Were the Dead Kennedys proto-SJWs?

Post by: dead0man on May 21, 2019, 05:42:14 PM A lot of early punk scenes had serious issues with racists, many bands felt they had to make sure everybody knew where they stood. At least a couple (though I can't remember any examples right now, I may try and look it up) bands felt a backlash for not doing that or otherwise being ambiguous about it. They still existed in St Louis in 94, or at least three of them did and I suppose the 3 or 4 dudes (I don't remember the band as much as I remember the 3 fans) in the band they always supported. They didn't wear any swastikas (that's how you got your asskicked getting smokes at the gas station on the way to the show), but they had the rest of the uniform...combat boots, tight jeans rolled up at the ankles, white tshirt w/ red suspenders and a shaved heads.
Being anti-racist doesn't make one pro-Antifa though. Title: Re: Were the Dead Kennedys proto-SJWs?

And here I was thinking being against Nazis was a position shared by almost everyone regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum. Title: Re: Were the Dead Kennedys proto-SJWs?
