From Culty Cult Cult to White Supremacy...I Must LOVE That Teen Pop Gold!

I received in my email a disturbing story from Dr. D, also covered at Powerpop mainstay bloglink NTodd about a group of white supremacist teen pop (also spelled teen-pop and teenpop) starlets in Prussian Blue. Here's Ye Olde Olsen Twin photo op:



I've never heard their music, but their take on "Sk8er Boi" is pretty...um, stupid.

Oi, oi, oi, skinhead boy, you're my oi boy.
Skinhead boy, skinhead man
Someday you will save our land.

"Tarzan and Jane" it ain't. I won't waste too many words on these girls, except to say that yes, I can differentiate between GOOD and BAD pop music, in both an aesthetic and moral sense. This is shaping up to be very very very bad on both counts.

To all of my friends who think they understand this "phase" (hey, stop rationalizing your own bad taste in music by trying to redefine mine through your Mope Lenses! Sorry it had to be said!), I will never support this group for the same reason I will not support Aly and AJ's reactionary fundie brainwashing scheme.

I will, however, listen critically to their music in some way that does not earn them one cent.

EDIT: Here's the only sample I could find. This is truly awful (duh), not even deserving of this imminently short-lived blog meme thing.

PS: This is gearing up to be yet another depression-inducing morbid fascination. Going through the official website and blog, I can't help but feel a little lightheaded and nauseous. The origin of their name makes me particularly ill -- more details here.
