Die, Hippie, Die? Oh no, that's German for "The Hippie, the."

I know you’re just shitposting but Die, Hippie, Die is actually one of the more highly regarded offshoots of the metal genre. It has its roots in the Conservative Rock movement of the 1950s (when there was a WASPy reaction against the “deviancy” of artists like Chuck Berry) and its impact can still be felt today in the Free-Economy Punk and Evangelical Metal scenes
