Then with respect you should maybe read what i'm actually saying, though perhaps not clearly!
I am honestly doing my best. Either I am really bad at reading or you are really bad at saying things clearly enough.

So by the 80s the avant garde (edit- probably no longer a functioning avant garde) became the general neo-liberalism of post-modernity...
So Whitehouse adopts the opposite to this movement to provoke and shock a by now 'liberal' audience... and get publicity in doing so. And sure some in the audience maybe got a thrill from this, and maybe some liked the idea of committing such violence..
And by 2020 the provocation is no longer shocking, because...?

My question to you, at least the third time, did this original provocation become real and serious to Whitehouse as it seems to be in some bands in PE that followed. Maybe you know, I wasn't into PE at the time...
And the child rap-e / murder jewish extermination, used by PE bands, together with nutsy politics. The two don't seem (SEEM) to have much in common other than being generally beyond the pale for neo-liberals .
So whilst this in PE might be a critique of Neo-liberalism, or for show publicity is in in some cases much more, as an extreme right wing political attitude to a perceived evil global politics? inhumanity...
I think there is a lacuna there. Maybe you can help me with this? how can a serious commitment to fascism - or whatever its called - ideology (for I assume perceived good intentions) square with child sex abuse murder and genocide in PE?
I don't think there's anything complicated about that. A serious commitment to fascism does not square with child sex abuse at all. Ergo, there is no serious commitment to fascism. The only thing in common between child rap-e and nutsy politics is being generally beyond the pale for neo-liberals. So the real point is "beyond the pale", not "child rap-e" or "nutsy politics" per se. PE gathers a pile of terrible stuff - specifically chosen for being as terrible as possible - and dumps it on the audience. Terrible sound, terrible visuals, terrible ideas - made even more disturbing by their internal inconsistency (cf. dissonance). And, btw, PE is definitely not the only genre that adopts this strategy.
This is why I don't understand how the provocation no longer works. People are upset by terrible stuff. And on top of that young people in 2020 are upset by jokes in Seinfeld and Friends, the most popular mainstream shows of their time.
