Im not doubting your experience but I am fairly surprised at the amount of musicians who are still genre racist you run into? Is it really so prevalent?

I've learned to be really careful generalising my own experiences. Like I've lived most of my life around nerds/hacker culture here locally, and always found it to be welcoming and fairly left in terms of politics. But after having seen so many examples of tech-bro CHUDs the past 10 years, I realised I was probably just in some weird kind of bubble.

So, I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot of right-wing loonies among musicians that just happen to escape my radar because they're in different scenes.
