I’d say more like 20/80 but maybe I just don’t listen to subgenres racists like.
Went to Roadburn for the first time this year, best fest I’ve ever been to by far, on every level. LOTS of queer folks having a blast and not a single dubious shirt or tattoo in sight.
As for mainstream stuff I’ve been to every Hellfest (FR) for like 15 years. Punk and stoner/weird music stages are obviously pretty chill, although they keep booking fucking Phil Anselmo. Death and black metal stages are OK for the most part, but some old school black metal bands draw out a rather dubious crowd. I assume they crawl out from their cave just for these sets as I don’t spot them anywhere else. I usually avoid the main stages, but when I go and there’s an asshole it’s usually a drunk tourist, not a metalhead.
It’s definitely about subgenres. I mean in general real bigots are a minority. But I know certain niche subgenres are famous for being populated by Nazis. And there’s been more than a few sex scandals.
Are they actual Satanists? Or just humanist and atheist?
Sadly it’s about 50/50 sex offenders and racists vs anti-establishment

That’s disappointing.
There’s that norwegian guy who burned down some churches, but he’s also a nazi.
I don’t like the end of this one second story.
Varg did my boy Øystein so dirty. Maybe he wasn’t so chill, but at least he wasn’t the Nazi
Norwegian black metal has a really weird history.
