1An old-school PunkRock band formed Hamilton, Ontario in 1977 by Mickey DeSadist and continuing to perform to this day. They are noted for snappy tunes mixed with often cringe-worthy lyrics (whether racist, homophobic, sexist, insensitive, or just plain loaded with {{Squick}}). The band maintains that these are meant ironically; on the other hand, they are well-liked among [[ThoseWackyNazis certain controversial subcultures]].
