But yeah, I'd say alot of music isn't antifascist, hell, Sex Pistols as hell aren't. I think it would be harder to find/name bands that are specfically antifascist.
In what way? I can think of plenty of bands that are other things and anti-fascist. Just three off the top of my head.
Manic Street Preachers
Chumbawamba
McCarthy
I'm not that firmiliar with those bands I'm afraid, vaguely though.
But yeah, I guess I'm not totally sure what you mean as a result, but I guess maybe what I coulds say is that yeah, sure there might be heaps of bands that are either not racist, or anti-racist, but its completely different to be specifically anti-fascist. As in, bands that specifically target fascists as the scum that they are in their lyrics. Just like you would call a band with alot of feminist lyrics a feminist band, a anti-fascist band has alot of anti-fasicist lyrics, and its very distinctly anti-fascist.
Hell, I can't think of alot of bands like that.
Does that answer you question? Maybe you should tell me more about the bands you mentioned. [/b]
Well, the manic street preachers have a song which is about the republicans in the spanish civil war as is totally anti-fascist, quoting lines from republican fighters stating "if I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot fascists".
However, they are antio-fascist, but more predominantly they are socialists. I can't think of any bands which have just an ati-fascist position, they tend to have other leftwing beliefs as well, if they are anti-fascist. But specifically being anti-fascist is not rare.
