Punk rock has always been right wing. Libraries are about as far from this as they can get.

>Punk rock has always been right wing.

What???

The anti-authoritarian, anti-government, anti-fascist, anti-capitalist music genre punk rock? Always right wing?

I mean, Nazis have always been attracted to punk because they like the loud noise but are too stupid to understand lyrics, but they tend to get their shit kicked in by punks more often than not. I don't think that's the same thing.

I've seen a lot of confidently incorrect takes on this site, but "punk rock is right wing" may be the worst.
