Final Review: Retro Nationalism

6. Why is “FDJ punk” an insult?

         The band Skeptiker lost its street credibility after it became known as an FDJ band.  Fans that adorned their Die Skeptiker jackets were subject to insult by “FDJ-Punks”.  Rainer Borner was first to approach the band and suggest state support.  He later expressed regret for his intervention with the band.  The fans criticized Skeptiker for selling out to FDJ.
