"Popular" is pretty hard to define in a genre like black metal. Looking at "The greatest black metal bands" [0] I found 6 bands where at least one of the members has ties to right-wing ideology with 3 of the bands being

But is it any more coercive than putting those kids into psychiatric care and putting them on drugs that just make them not feel anything anymore? I'm schizotypal myself and I can say those methods of coping with this have not helped m
