Arm yourselves.

The Nazis are already armed.

Nazi is a mental illness, sequester them and heal, or keep boxed forever incommunicado to prevent spread of the disease.

Probably a lot of obvious choices on here, but I like to think of it as honoring the classics of the genre, and hopefully there are a few entries which are new to folks.

• Crime Mob - Knuck if You Buck (this goes at the start of the playlist, because, in my experience, playing this to a crowd of significant size will result in hands being thrown somewhere, it is a statistical inevitability)
• Godsmack - I Stand Alone
• ~~Pantera - Walk~~ Phil Anselmo is a Nazi shit weasel and I was unaware.
• Limp Bizkit - Rollin
• Rage Against the Machine - Fistful of Steel
• Lil Wayne ft Eminem- Drop the World
• CKY - 96 Quite Bitter Beings
• DMX - X Gon Give It To Ya
• Ludacris - Get Back
• KMFDM - Free Your Hate
• Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass
• Powerman 5000 - When Worlds Collide
• Static-X - Push It
• DJ Shadow ft Run the Jewels - Nobody Speak
• Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand
• Slipknot - People=Shit
• Slayer - Raining Blood
• Holy Fuck - Tom Tom
• Danzig - Mother
• Queens of the Stone Age - You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire (gotta find an edit without the intro tho)
• Mastodon - Blood and Thunder
• Mïngle Härder (formerly Möngöl Hörde) - Blistering Blue Barnacles

Two nautical themed metal/hardcore songs which get me ready to tussle isn't a lot, but it is weird that it happened twice.

• Rise Against - State of the Union
• Coheed and Cambria - Key Entity Extraction V: Sentry the Defiant (with honorable mention to In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3 and Welcome Home)
• Chevelle - The Red
• Bullet For My Valentine - Waking the Demon
• Eve 6 - Think Twice
• Hole - Violet
• Dead Kennedys - Nazi Punks Fuck Off
• Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Winds

That seems like enough brainstorming for now. Hope someone finds something they vibe with.

Propaghandi is a big one for me since they're from my city, but also Dead Kennedys, NoFX, Stray From the Path, Jeff Rosenstock

Edit:

Sorry, music and finding it is a special interest.

Yess, I've been trying to explore punk. Give me punk bands with lyrics I can understand, and who are vocally critical of conservatism and fascism please.

For myself -

• A lot of RATM has floated to the top for me in the past few years. They are in heavy rotation now, and weren't really for about fifteen years prior to that. The songs you don't immediately think of when I say RATM have lyrics that are just as true and just as biting. If you like their sound but aren't familiar with most of their work, this is a good time.

• Brother Ali - particularly songs like Uncle Sam Goddamn

• Dropkick Murphys, particularly most of the Album "This Machine Still Kills Fascists"

• Anti-Flag. I know they have proven to have done some shady things with regard to harassing some women at their shows, but I only just discovered them recently (and learned this about them afterwards.) Unfortunately I like their songs and lyrics. "Victory or Death" comes to mind immediately.

• Public Enemy - By the time I get to arizona, Black steel in the hour of chaos, fight the power (obv), fight the power 2020, really I don't think they do a song that's not good for the current state of affairs. Over and over in recent years I have concluded that the hip hop community saw what was and what was coming long before (decades before) the rest of us. I wonder why. 🤔

• Last couple Arrested Development albums. Good tracks off the top of my head "And This I know" "The Meek" "Amazing" "Fire" "Moses" Gotta listen to these, most aren't going to leap out with the expected energy if you don't pay attention to the lyrics all the way through. There are others. Their last three albums have a high percentage of gems IMO.

• Really old one by B. Dolan called "Which side are you on?" (loosely based aoround Guthrie song) which is congruent with a lot of today's issues, though I think it was written primarily in support of this woman. Gonna link it here because I just listened to it again and damn does it slap.

A lot of what I listed above is unsurprisingly posted by me or others in !music@lemmy.world

Maybe Im basic but Rise Against still hits. Sudden Urge goes hard. Also turns out they just released a new song within the last 24h that I need to listen to

Dead Prez been radical and vocal about social and political issues since long before everyone else got there. Music is probably dated by now but their messages have always been consistent and they are very applicable today.

From old timey union fight songs (ex Workers of the world, Awaken) to protest rock. The Swedish band Nationalteatern have a great banger "Staten och Kapitalet" about that the state and the capital sit in the same boat, but it is not those who row and the whip does not lick their fat necks.

Basically anything off of Idles' 2020 masterpiece, Ultra Mono. Grounds is probably the most direct fight song. My other favorites are War, Mr. Motivator, and Carcinogenic.
