Can't imagine these students sitting through a standup set 10 years ago (let alone stuff from the 70s and 80s).

It doesn't always work but can often have more of an impact than people expect. As comrade Crow says: "If you fight, you won't always win. If you don't fight, you'll always lose".

Even if subject matter of recommended bands would be exact opposite, a lot of those bands wouldn't get praised even among NSBM crowd where standard is pretty low. This is good example when approaching art with "politics first" -angle, how shitty it can get. Even the bands she criticizes, aren't political in a way word is generally understood.Very, very true. There are PLENTY of absolutely awful NSBM bands that, thankfully, don't get any respect. Any actual music where the theme take precedent over the sound is usually garbage. I, for one, welcome any truly hateful left-leaning band that can present itself intelligently and with good musicality.
