White power music

White power music, also called white noise music, white nationalist music, or hate music, is music that promotes overt white supremacy. It encompasses various music styles, including rock, country, and folk, and has various subgeneres, including Nazi punk, hatecore, Rock Against Communism, National Socialist black metal, and fashwave.

Early white power bands appeared in the 1960s, with segregationist music, or country acts that employed racist and pro Ku Klux Klan themes. The most popular of these was the American country musician Johnny Rebel. Influenced by the white power country acts, Ian Stuart Donaldson and his band Skrewdriver were the first major white power rock band; they allied themselves with the fascist National Front. Skrewdriver's popularity spread white power music.
