Erratum to: Youth Against Tradition, 1977–1983

Abstract

As the National Front (NF) made marginal electoral gains, the Anti-Nazi League and Rock Against Racism were launched to challenge the growth of the NF through public protests and youth culture. Meanwhile, the NF witnessed an influx of youth recruits and reacted by founding the Young NF. Shaffer argues that the fascists were influenced by the anti-fascists’ outreach, which used youth and music to spread ideas. As the NF was campaigning in elections and faced internal fighting, the NF youth put together Rock Against Communism to promote music that reflected the NF ideology. At first the music outreach proved to be a poorly organized and marginal NF activity, until Skrewdriver and White Noise Records took the subculture to another level and brought in much-needed revenue.
