They were socialists punks & goths from east germany who would regularly get in fights with reactionaries in their youth??? I genuinely did not see this coming. Maybe it would have been obvious if I spoke german but I don't and I am shocked. Genuinely expected chud behavior

For real? I never checked out KMFDM because I saw their name translated as "No mercy for the majority" and assumed they were on some "might makes right, crush the weak" fash shit.

Nope, they're very revolutionary-branded

Spectre is pretty spot on

Nah, they're extremely not like that, although they did get a bad rap because one of the Columbine guys was a fan.

Band also made a song about it

I dont know why, but for a while as a kid, I was convinced it stood for “Kill mother-fucking Depeche Mode” someone probably told me this and I didn’t understand it was a joke.

The band actually made that one up as a joke.
