I’m probably older...I knew about DK from my younger brother.
A lot of those early punk/hard core bands were lefty anarchy types but some were nationalistic proto fascist...ironic huh?
both rebelling against the same thing
Conservative Gay Band.....Joy Division..lol...I still listen to them but of course some claim they were closet Nazis
But in my teenaged days it was Almost Cut My Hair and Ohio and Volunteers and What’s Going On....and I ate it up I confess...hard to imagine now
but one note in my defense...being a left leaning libertarian then had nothing to do with all the hot topic PC issues today...now way would I have stomached that then if times were identical...especially the assault on God in public and the demonization of being a Southerner....so much of the knee jerk stuff today was un thought of then...homosexual marriage...who would have ever believed?
At its core a lot of punk was a fight against power, knowing that it invariably infringes on freedom. To a large measure conservatism is a fight against excessive government power, so there is a place where punk and conservative ideologies meet to some extent.
