    i can remember back in the late 90/early 2000, that the right wingers pushed hard into the goth and metal scene here, looking for new recruits. it definitely felt like a targeted approach, and they did the same with the techno scene before (where they were mostly thrown out). they had more success in the folk scene, but they slowly gained ground over the last years. this sucks :-(

      Who could forget the absolute renaissance of ultra-nationalist country songs that inundated the country after 9/11?

      I was practically begging for some Big and Rich just to get people to stop playing that Ted Nugget slop, by the time I was out of college.
