Punk Rock originally was an answer to the hippie culture in the 70´s from the left against the left.

[@larrykinnard]

The music was more of a battle cry against the long drawn-out music that was out at the time. The lyrics on the other hand were completely the rebellion against either right wing or left wing views. It was rare to find bands that were more about tongue in cheek scene called Punk Pathetique like Peter and the Test Tube Babies, The Dickies, Toy Dolls, Splodgenessabounds.

Only some bands in some places, not the entire punk movement. New York had a huge scene and surf punk was it's own animal for awhile and neither were in direct opposition of the hippy movement. In the beginning for many bands who would later become known in the genre it started out as high intensity balls of emotion performing for or with their friends in garages in California and New York for the most part and grew from there. The British Punk scene developed separately.

If you love this, Vin, you’ll probably love just about *every* Dead Kennedys song. Jello Biafra was/is a genius, and was *WAY* ahead of his time with the truth found within his lyrical content. So many subjects he covered in DKs songs may have (at the time) been considered mere ‘conspiracy theories,’ but have all been proven true as realities have been laid bare in recent years by the likes of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, The Edward Snowden revelations, as well as other brave whistleblowers from the NSA, etc... Makes Jello almost look like a prophet.

[@bodchristie]

Saw them in Glasgow around 1981, also saw Jello doing spoken word in the 90's. Biafra is indeed a genius, as he has proved over and over since with Nomeansno, DOA,Lard etc etc.....

[@stevenfritchie7529]

Jerry Brown was governor of California in the 1970s and was reelected in 2000s until 2016. In the 70s, the conservative media nicknamed him "Governor Moonbeam" for his extreme ideals. His father had been governor in the 1950s. Jerry Brown also dated singer Linda Ronstadt. Jello Biafra (lead singer of DK) ran for mayor of San Francisco and came in 4th out of 8 candidates. Biafra does not tolerate extreme liberals or conservatives; he blasts both, mainly for their hypocrisy.

@@Black_Swan777 Antifa are antifascists but militant, they are people who fight the enemy in the streets because police is protecting fascists and their attacks on free people so legally there was no justice because of corruption of police. Vin is a victim of propaganda so he doesn't know and didn't do any research, his only research is from anti-antifa propaganda. Antifa supports all free speech, civil rights, human rights but also to protect weak with using violence against enemy. Vin also doesn't know that in Europe is supporting fascism illegal (because of war unlike USA). Antifa isn't organization, it's movement with no membership or hierarchy. It's difference between Antifa and political organization, you can be in both of them but it doesn't mean, that ideas of that political organization are ideas of Antifa. Antifa movement exists because people were attacked by groups of nazis and skinheads in the streets at night every week, police didn't do nothing about it, so they organised themselves as group to protect themselves and start attacking nazis too as revenge and show them that every attack has consequences. That's antifa. So it's not political organization it's militant movement because of absence of justice.

[@zibro6379]

@@Black_Swan777 Antifa is not one single group, it's an umbrella term for everything that is anti-fascist, from liberals, over anarchists to marxist-leninists.

OK, you´re Americans (aren´t you?), so I can stay calm and describe how "Deutschland über alles was actually meant", because you seem to be a little bit misinformed. The National Anthem wasn´t written by the Nazis, but in 1848 by Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben. A time, when we didn´t have a common German state, but several principalities. It´s definitely worth to look deeper into German history to understand some things. nevertheless, there has been a big struggle of democrats and workers against the German noble, the exploitation of workers, french occupation and serfdom of poor farmers. It was literally a civil war. Besides that population suffered of famine. In this time, von Fallersleben wrote "Deutschland über alles", wich was intended as a call for unitiy against the old powers. It was an Idea of Germany as a priority in your mind, instead of fighting each other. Indeed it was a song about revolution, and one of it´s peaks was in 1848. of course this is pretty shortened, but the topic is to deep for some small YT-comments. This just sums it pretty much up, I wrote several exams about this topic for my highschool-graduation.

[@menschmaschine-2483]

I found this pretty good translation: lyricstranslate.com/de/das-deutschlandlied-das-deutschlandlied.html Das Deutschlandlied Germany, Germany above all, above all in the world, If it always holds together brotherly to protect and defend. From the Maas up to the Neman, from the Adige up to the Belt - Germany, Germany above all, above all in the world German women, German loyalty, German wine and German song should keep in the world Their old beautiful sound, inspires us to noble exploits our whole life long. German women, German loyalty, German wine and German song Unity and Justice and Freedom for the German Fatherland! Towards it let us all strive brotherly with heart and hand! Unity and Justice and Freedom are the pledge of happiness. Blossom! in the splendor of this happiness, Blossom!, German Fatherland.

How in the hell do you do punk week and not do The Ramones.

[@mocthezuma]

They have a different version of this song called "We've Got A Bigger Problem Now" where the lyrics are changed and the song is about Ronald Reagan instead. The music is changed as well and it has a much more jazzy sound. "California Uber Alles" is about left wing fascism, while "We've Got A Bigger Problem Now" is about right wing fascism. Dead Kennedys went after everyone and did it very well. Check out "I Am The Owl" if you want to hear the best song they wrote.

[@laughingdaffodils5450]

"California Über Alles" is a callback to the German national anthem during Nazi Germany, "Deutschland Über Alles" - Germany Above All. Governor Brown was running Cali in '80 and he's still Governor today. Carter was the last human being to sit in the oval office. They redid this song a few years later under the title "We've got a bigger problem now." Very similar music, but the lyrics were altered. "I am Emperor Ronald Reagan Born again with fascist cravings Still your made me President. Human rights will soon go away I am now your Shah today Now I command all of you Now you're gonna pray in school I'll make sure they're Christian too California Über Alles California Über Alles etc." Ironic that the original version of the song is more current and topical today. Also I really wish she got the joke too.

[@MrLopesBruno]

When Jello Biafra wrote this song he basically wanted to piss off leftist californian college kids. This song, and "Kill the Poor", made a lot of extremist right-wing believe that Dead Kennedys was a right wing band. But, if you pay atention, it is writen on an ironic stance. To get his story straight, on later albums Jello Biafra wrote anti-fascist songs without any irony - like the song you mentioned and "Nazi Punks F* Off".

[@slaydesaid8741]

Wow! :-) I've know this song pretty much since it came out and while I know that Jello Biafra's lyrics are a vital part of Dead Kennedys, I never really dug deep into the lyrics of this particular song and certainly not to the extent that you did here. Thanks a lot for this - I learned a lot about this song that I never thought about before. A huge thumbs up for this. 👍
