The anarcho-punk texts are radically anarchist and deal with criticism of the prevailing conditions, statements against racism , fascism , neo-Nazism and, in addition to calls for an autonomous way of life, feminism and animal rights .

history

The British group Crass , which also supported the scene with its label Crass Records , is considered the founder of the style . Some anarcho-punk bands such as The Blaggers or Oi Polloi were or are close to the Red and Anarchist skinheads or had skinheads as members.

Musically, anarcho-punk developed from '77 punk-rock or art-punk , bands like Crass developed from pure punk-rock bands with political aspirations to experimental post-punk , other bands like Conflict founded the hardcore Punk , in which its own anarchist sub-genres such as D-Beat (e.g. Discharge , The Varukers ) and Crustcore (e.g. Amebix , Antisect , Sacrilege ) emerged. Grindcore emerged in the 80s. a. Napalm Death and Extreme Noise Terror belong. Some bands like Chumbawamba developed towards folk punk , while still others like Leftöver Crack turned towards ska punk .

In the US, US anarcho-punk was founded by hardcore groups such as MDC and Reagan Youth , in Canada by DOA or Subhumans. In Germany, anarcho-punk also prevailed in the early 1980s in the form of groups such as Bluttat , Dark Days, Targets or Ätztussis and is usually interwoven with the autonomous scene . Mostly German-speaking anarcho-punk bands but rather under political German punk or political punk classified.
