"white supremacist" was an overstatement tbh i'm sorry.
i said it in the other comment, i don't have a direct connection to the "metal" culture, i understand if my point comes from cliches, and ig metal is too broad of a category to successfully judge it for representing or being represented by racist figures or a racist community (or anything really).
but still i think that a lot of the culture is racist, and it begins at the "non political" or "music above politics" nature of some of it's content and behavior of the bands, which opens itself to a lot of racists right-wingers and makes people tolerate racist figures. even art that is explicitly "progressive" still happen to have problems with a racist audience, so imagine a "neutral" band
black metal is an easy card to play so i won't get into it, the scene is exclusively nazi and i won't be convinced otherwise.
