I just wanted to say that if lemuralia meant with 88! the good old "Heil Hitler!" then I have a place at the lamppost next to Blair for him reserved.

but if you know anything about punk music, it's filled with pro hitler, pro white messages. but if thats not what yu meant, than in it's not what you meant. just please be careful what you mean and not mean to say.

What planet are you living on? The majority of punk music has nothing to do with white supremacy/fascism.

Have you ever listened to the Dead Kennedy's, The Clash, Sex Pistols or The Ramones?

If anything they are "left leaning", politically.

Aside from Screwdriver, I can't think of one other popular punk band that embodies your opinion.

I wouldn't call punk prowhite, but alot of early punk bands had an ambivalent sort of fascination with nazism.

The Clash and The Sex Pistols have ska infulences.Especially The Clash.How they could be ever called Nazi's is beyond me.

And for one thing.Im not white to begin with.

punk ain't no religious cult,
punk means thinking for yourself!
you ain't hardcore when you spike your hair
when a jock still lives inside your head!!

nazi punk, nazi punks, nazi punks, FUCK OFF!!
nazi punk, nazi punks, nazi punks, FUCK OFF!!

every number is auspicious

It is probably the fact that weak-minded racists felt a connection to punk music because of the "angry tempo" and "vicious lyrics." Jello Biafra was my best teacher as a child. Smile

Although I have no idea what 88 means!! Was that not the number on those tommy hilfiger shirts I used to see at raves in the past?

It's a skinhead thing, where it means 'heil Hitler' (2x 8th letter of the alphabet = HH)

Never heard about it meaning anything else.
