NSBM (National Socialist Black Metal)

National Socialist Black Metal (NSBM) is a subgenre of black metal music characterized by its incorporation of far-right, neo-Nazi, and white supremacist ideologies. Originating in the early 1990s, it often features themes of racial purity, anti-Semitism, and other extremist viewpoints. While black metal traditionally explores dark and occult topics, NSBM explicitly aligns itself with nationalist and fascist beliefs. The movement has garnered controversy and criticism for promoting hate and intolerance, leading to debates about art, ideology, and the responsibility of musicians within the wider cultural context.
