I mean in general with music, and really want to hear other peoples opinions on this kinda thing, I discovered a lot of Oi music because I was into skinhead stuff for awhile and discovered Bands like Youth Defense League, New Glory, The Uprise are patriotic anti-communist bands, don't have any name-calling or racist music.

I hardly need to separate art from artists with them specifically. But they're all nationalist and slightly problematic.

Mostly with Oi punk/thrash, there is lots of Neo-Nazis, White Nationalist, Racists.

Most of white power music I've heard is trash, tbh. It mostly sounds like AC/DC clones and/or generic bar rock or metal, but with racist lyrics, and just sucks in general.

That's mostly the case, but not always. Screwdriver has some good music before they turned into a racist band. Not all the original members are racist. Even after their non-racist days, they have one or two good songs.

What's your guys opinion on separating art from artists with a band such as that?

Screwdriver isn't even as bad as a band called No Remorse.

No Remorse is mostly garbage, imo. They're a Nazi punk and rock band, and most their songs are just hateful.

They seem almost cartoonishly hateful/racist, if that makes sense. Most their music sucks and isn't even rebellious.

However, they have a really good song called They Stand Alone, about Palestinians fighting against Israel. Their song Flame That Never Dies isn't too bad either.

They Stand Alone is the very first I've ever heard of them, and thought they'd be similar to a band like Angelic Upstarts, because that song reminds me of Guns for the Afghan Rebels.

I checked them out, and they're the most racist band of all time.

Is it impossible to separate art from artists in such a case? I'm not seeking validation on the subject but wanna hear others take.
