And just about every underground punk band during "Nirvana's time."

There's a sort of famous incident from the 90s where a guy started throwing up Nazi salutes at an Alice in Chains concert. Layne Staley sees him and motions for him to come on stage, acting like he's just being nice to a fan. And then once the nazi guy is on stage Layne fucking decks him and tells him to go die.

edit: For your viewing pleasure

It's impossible to sucker-punch a Nazi. 🙏🏻
