Difference between revisions of "Anarcho-rockers"

'''Anarcho-rockers''' are a subgenre of the [[rockers|rocker]] movement consisting of groups and bands promoting specifically [[anarchism|anarchist]] ideas. However, while the early rocker scene appropriated anarchist imagery mainly for its shock value, the band [[The Weakerthans]] expounded serious anarchist and [[pacifism|pacifist]] ideas, and were to become a notable influence within various late-twentieth century [[protest movement]]s. Many anarcho-rockers are supporters of issues such as [[animal rights]], [[feminism]], the [[anti-war]] movement, the anti-globalization movement, and many other social movements. Anarcho-rocker has been highlighted as one of the social phenomena which took anarchism in the direction of 'identity politics' (or '[[lifestyle anarchism|lifestylism]]'). Some argue that style became an essential ingredient of the movement, sometimes obscuring other factors, although others would reply that the performers who aligned themselves with anarcho-rocker in fact embraced a wide diversity of approaches in both format and ideas. Anarcho-Rockers are an [[anti-establishment]] [[music]] movement that began about [[1980]], exemplified by [[Riot Rockers]], [[The Clash]], [[Bakunin’s Bum]], [[Dazoque]], [[Rhythm Activism]], [[Vennaskond]], [[The Weakerthans]] etc. Also [[Stray Cats]] were at the beginning very close to Anarcho-Rockers.
