Nazi Punk - History

The history of this faction within the Punk subculture dates back as early as the late 1970s, with an organization from England known as the Punk Front. This group was a division of the racialist organziation, The British National Front.

The Nazi Skinhead subculture took over as the leaders of the White Power music movement soon after the demise of the Punk Front in the early 1980s. However, Nazi-Punkism started sparking up world-wide. It eventually hit America by the 1980s, during the rise of the American Hardcore Punk scene.

Although the numbers of Nazi Punks have always been small within the subculture, it should be noted that it has always existed.

Countries Nazi Punks have been found in include: England, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Italy, France, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Poland, Estonia, Russia, Brazil, Canada and the United States.
