<<Laibach is a Slovenian avant-garde music group associated with the industrial, martial, and neo-classical genres. Formed in a small mining town of Trbovlje (at the time in Yugoslavia) in 1980, Laibach represents the musical wing of the Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) collective, a group which Laibach helped found in 1984. "Laibach" is the German historical name for the Slovenian capital Ljubljana, itself an oblique reference to the Nazi occupation of Slovenia in World War II. From the early days, the band was subject to controversies and bans due to their use of iconography associated with totalitarianism, nationalism and militarism, a concept they have preserved throughout their career. Censored and banned in Socialist Yugoslavia […]. After Slovenia became independent in 1991, Laibach's status in the country has turned from rejection to promotion into a national cultural icon [...]. [Laibach] were also accused of being members of the neo-nationalism movement, which reincarnates modern ideas of nationalism. When confronted with such accusations, Laibach are quoted as replying with the ambiguous response "We are fascists as much as Hitler was a painter"[...]>> (Source Wikipedia.org, 2.).
In 1993, the famous Slovenian political philosopher - Marxism, German idealism and Lacanian psychoanalysis - and cultural critic, Slavoj Zizek (3.) wrote an essay about the band Laibach called "Why are Laibach and NSK not Fascists? by Slavoj Zizek" (Source Deterritorium.wordpress.com, 4.).
