The radio feature<\/a> from the series “Z\u00fcndfunk Generator” <\/a>deals with new and old strategies of (extreme) right-wing groups (“Alt-Right”) in the USA – in the context of popular culture, pop music and (political) provocation.<\/p>\n

There are more than fifty years between an early anthem of left-wing youth movements, “The Kids are Alright”<\/a> by ” The<\/a> Who” from 1965 and the critical song “The Kids are Alt Right”<\/a> by the band “Bad Religion” released in 2018. In which (not only) the political attitude of the “kids” seems to have changed.<\/p>\n

The journalist and author Klaus Walter<\/a> uses these two songs as starting points – and looks for (pop-)cultural connecting pieces and examples of the creeping exchange\/transition between the political categories “left” and “right”, talks about punk icons like John Lydon, the former singer of the band “Sex Pistols”<\/a>, who today offensively personifies the white, U.S. angry citizen.<\/p>\n

It is about the Republican presidents Richard Nixon, Donald Trump and activists of the new pop right like Gavin McInnes<\/a> or Milo Yiannopoulos<\/a>. And about possible connections between transgression (“disinhibition\/border-crossing”) in art and politics as well as the trajectories of the (supposed) “left-liberal mainstream”.<\/p>\n

One of the contributors is the US author Angela Nagle<\/a>, who in her book “Die digitale Gegenrevolution. Online Cultural Struggles of the New Right from 4chan and Tumblr to the Alt-Right and Trump,” <\/a>she examines and contextualizes the media strategies of these right-wing actors.<\/p>\n
