Abstract

The article analyses the mindset of right-wing extremist youth during the second wave of the protest movement in the seventies, making use of a source that historians have totally overlooked, namely neofascist political song. These songs were all but entirely self-produced, independently of the record industry, and scarce availability has led to them being largely forgotten. However, thanks to recent publications, along with many original audio files uploaded to YouTube, it is now possible to access this documentary heritage and enter a world of images, symbols and portrayals that, in the second half of the seventies, represented a clean break with classical neofascist iconography.
