      Don’t think I’ve seen a bigger oxymoron before… The definition of punk is being anti-authoritarian.

        It’s in reference to the Dead Kennedys’ song with that same title. There was a rise in far right “punk music” along with early skinhead (neo-nazi) movement when the song was written. Nazi punks were trying to flood the scene and people were not letting them.

        “Nazi punks” beat the oxymoron by being anti-authoritarian, just depending on who’s authority they reject.
