ABSTRACT
Researchers have acknowledged that the composition of the radical-right includes both the populist radical-right and extreme-right parties, the former being in the majority. Differentiation between the two-party types is common, and it is usual for the extreme-right not to achieve parliamentary representation. Although European countries have been extensively examined regarding the demand-side party politics of the populist radical-right parties, the extreme-right’s supply-side remains underrepresented. The extreme right is known particularly for its violence, often attacking specific nationalities and sexual minorities. Nevertheless, the extreme right has also adopted non-violent forms of action over the last decades, which has defined their subculture. The Greek case offers a specific example of this shift, as this study shows. This chapter will focus on extreme-right subcultures, in particular on the Greek white power music scene. It will show how violent narratives have contributed to the transformation of Greek extreme-right activism whilst presenting a storyline of its growth and activity. To achieve this, the author used constructivist grounded theory and MAXQDA™ software to analyse the data. The chapter concludes that there is a connection between the contents of white power music songs and the attacks carried out in Greece by the extreme-right parties and organisations.
