Most offensive music/band/song you know

So, the thread in IMHO inspired me to post this thread. There’s some unimaginably offensive music out there. I am extremely tame with my musical exposure, never venturing far from adult contemporary, modern pop, classic rock, country, or video game music.

So anyhow, I looked up a couple “Cannibal Corpse” songs, because that band had been mentioned in the thread… and wow, how vile and disgusting! But the lyrics were so over the top and terrible that it was almost funny to me, in a sick/twisted sort of a way.

So, are the songs from Cannibal Corpse the cream of the crop so to speak when it comes to the most offensive lyrics or songs that you can think of?

And, to those of you who might bring up that Justin Beiber or Lady Gaga as the most offensive music you can think of, let’s just get it out of the way that I’m not talking about THAT kind of offensive.

Sexually offensive: Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills, Pantera

Humorously offensive: A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying, The Bloodhound Gang

Violently offensive: Cop Killer, Body Count

3

Anal C*** (not sure if I’m allowed to type the actual word) has really offensive songs (if you can understand or find the lyrics) as well as an offensive name.

4

What about any of the various neo-Nazi bands out there?

GG Allin is your man. With songs like “Stick A Cross Up A Nun’s C@&$” he went to the limits of poor taste. Read up about him sometime. He was a bad dude :slight_smile:

Uncle F***er!

*Sit On My Face Stevie Nicks *by Fester Swollen and the Rotters is pretty crude.

And pretty much anything by the Dead Kennedys.

First band I thought of when I saw the thread title.

I saw them twice in two days a few years ago, at two different venues. Drunk on arrival for both shows, and drank during their sets. During the first show, they were so angry at low attendance and lack of reaction from the crowd that a couple of the band members left mid-show, stole patio furniture, flower pots, a grill, etc. from a house nearby, then came back inside and threw it at the attendees. The audience thought it was part of the fun (like the back and forth hail of garbage at a GG Allin/Merle Allin and the Murder Junkies show) and threw pieces back at the band, enraging them. They jumped down and started beating people up. The venue owner ended up losing quite a bit of money on that show, buying new furniture and stuff for the neighbor. A few of us stuck around to back up the owner when he refused to pay the band.

The second show at a different co-op venue had virtually no attendance (word spreads fast in the local all-ages scene), with only co-op members and volunteers there, and one of the band members took a swing at the guy who was running the venue that night. Most of the members and volunteers were there because of their behavior the night before – scene police, essentially – and we chased them out. The venue was on eggshells with the neighborhood, with regular harassment from local police, but for once we were glad to see the cops in the parking lot… “hey, those guys driving away are really drunk!”

Another pretty offensive band: The Mentors, lead by “El Duce,” and their self-described genre was “rape rock.” Saw them once, too. GG Allin seemed like a kind of performance artist specializing in offensiveness, but El Duce was just depraved. A continually drunk sexist pig of a man (which may have been an act, but seemed to be genuine), who didn’t seem to be joking when he would talk about how he could tell when women wanted to be raped, and so on. An example of some typical Mentors lyrics:

“I know I´m just a bum
Beat your ass just like a drum
Listen bitch, do as I say
Service me or be smacked
I can replace you some day”

I do have to admit that seeing him sing that kind of stuff at a riot-grrl-friendly venue was entertaining. They left the stage with fewer working amps than when they started. :slight_smile:

El Duce died from getting hit by a train while drunk.

Thanks for the anecdote Student Driver, and for all the other info from everyone else so far. I’ve done a bit of research on what you guys have shared with me and… wow, just wow.

I feel so ignorant. How could I not be aware of all this stuff!!

Cannibal Corpse is the band that comes to mind.

Entrails Ripped from a Virgin’s Cunt is probably the worst offender.

Their album covers are also quite offensive, but nothing compared to the lyrics.

11

This is the most offensive thing I could think of.

12

I just went to a lyrics site, and after reading those of the first song of theirs I found (“Addicted to Vaginal Skin”), I immediately started laughing my ass off. I do shudder for those who listen to stuff like that and take it seriously, tho.

13

I think as long as it’s not directed towards anyone, we can cunt it up.

Their music wasn’t too great. But their song titles are masterpieces of offense.
“Connor Clapton Committed Suicide Because His Father Sucks”
“Even Though Your Culture Oppresses Women, You Still Suck Towelhead”
“I Got An Office Job For The Sole Purpose Of Sexually Harassing Women”
“Woman, Nature’s Punching Bag”
…and so on. It is pretty clear that they are being sarcastic, and love to offend, and so go hyper-sexist, racist, and other -ists.

Seriously? Again, a very sarcastic band. But I can’t think of a song that’s very offensive, all way less so than South Park. “I Kill Children” “Kill the Poor” “Police Truck” maybe. But all these songs are in a point of view that the narrator is an asshole, not meant to be taken literally, whereas AC’s music pisses people off. Today’s political punk bands are so literal it’s :rolleyes:, e.g. Anti-Flag’s “The W.T.O. Kills Farmers.” Get off my lawn!

Nobody takes AC seriously. All that “offensive” stuff in metal is a joke, it’s just (overgrown) teenage boys trying to gross each other out.

Except… Black Metal. Some of the bands/fans in that genre didn’t get the memo about it all being a joke.

Anyway, in terms of actual offensiveness, I find the all the contrived stuff in the pop charts way more offensive than anything in the metal genre.

From my thread “Personal morality and loving crass death metal”

17

For the record, I am tremendous fan of Cannibal Corpse. I really don’t find Cannibal Corpse offensive-- deliberately shocking and gross, yes, but no more offensive than, say, Saw 7. Way over the top and clearly intended to be fiction, which the band has confirmed in interviews.

Slayer (another group I love) feels far more potentially “offensive” to me in that they sing about far more serious subjects in a less tongue-in-cheek way. Many of their songs are explicitly anti-religious while others deal explicitly with Nazi atrocities and serial killers-- though not in an explicitly endorsing way, more of a neutral “let’s look at some really messed up stuff” way. Arguments could easily be made that those are not appropriate subjects for lurid musical entertainment, and the band does seem to delight in causing outrage.

Yeah, I’m a metalhead and a horror fan. So what music offends me?

Skrewdriver was the first name to come to mind, an explicitly white-power punk band. There’s a fair number of neo-nazi bands out there, mostly in the punk genre, though Skrewdriver is probably the most famous. Or maybe Prussian Blue is.

Soopa Villainz, an Insane Clown Posse side project have a song “Slow Your Roll” that explicitly calls for gays to be murdered. I’m honestly not sure if it was intended simply to cause offense ala Anal Cunt or in sincerity, but it’s pretty vicious and especially troubling given how many ICP fans essentially adopt the band as an ideology.

I don’t find the music of Megadeth or The Foo Fighters offensive, but I’m not comfortable listening to them due to being offended by Dave Mustaine’s descent into paranoid right-wing truther insanity and The Foo Fighters distributing AIDS denialist literature to teens at their concerts. Though I admit, it only pains me to no longer be comfortable with Megadeth. (I wish I could tell myself that the Mustaine of today is essentially a different man than the one who wrote Peace Sells…, but that just makes it more heartbreaking than enjoyable.) Both groups have promoted their views during musical performances, which is more troubling to me than an artist whose performances I can enjoy despite disagreeing with their personal views. (Though extreme views such as AIDS denialism, holocaust denialism, or virulent homophobia would still turn me off to them. But I can deal with Corpsegrinder being an ignorant dick at Blizzcon.) (It did temper my crush on him a little, though.)

David Allan Coe. Not his whole oeuvre, but check out Nothing Sacredand Underground Album. They’re intended to be humorous and over-the-top records and the lyrics are all extremely sexually explicit or racist. GG Allin covered a few of em.

He still performs now, but disappointingly, does not do the really nasty songs.

Anyone here into Whitehouse? Sutcliffe Jügend?

Allin is the winner here. Everyone else is a lame imitation.

The proof: coprophagia on stage. And that’s a description, not a song title.
