A Nazi punk is a neo-Nazi who is part of the punk subculture. The term also describes a type of music associated with them.
Nazi punk music is similar to most other forms of punk rock, although it usually differs by having lyrics that express hatred for Jews, blacks, multiracial people, homosexuals, Marxists, anarchists, anti-racists and other perceived enemies. Nazi punk bands have played several styles of punk music, including Oi!, streetpunk and hardcore punk. Nazi skinheads who play music similar to hardcore, Oi! or heavy metal are considered part of a separate genre called Rock Against Communism.
Nazi punks often wear clothing and hairstyles typically associated with the majority of the punk subculture, such as: liberty spike or Mohawk hairstyles, leather jackets, boots, chains, and metal studs or spikes.
However, Nazi punks are different from early punks, such as Sid Vicious and Siouxsie Sioux, who are thought to have incorporated Nazi imagery such as Swastikas for shock or comedy value.
