Jan. 12th, 2004 05:48 pmI was listening to Rammstein tonight, for the first time in a while. This is supposed to be one of the groups, along with KMFDM and Marilyn Manson, which inspired Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold to go on their Columbine shooting spree. I'm thinking about this as I listen to it, and I decide it's an even more bizarre idea that Rammstein would inspire neo-Nazi values. KMFDM's political bent is roughly anarcho-liberal and explicitly anti-fascist, but at least it deals with political and social themes; Rammstein's songs are mostly about romance and emotional states.
As for Manson, whose primary work at the time was Antichrist Superstar, just about the only depiction of violence in his work is that carried out by the moral and religious authorities he exhorts people to resist.
