This is a list of white power bands, bands or music acts that create music that promotes overt white supremacy. It encompasses various music styles, including rock, country, and folk. There are various genres, including Nazi punk, fascist experimental music, Rock Against Communism, National Socialist black metal, hatecore, and fashwave.
Early white power bands appeared in the 1960s, country acts that employed racist and pro Ku Klux Klan themes, like the American country musician Johnny Rebel. Neo-Nazi bands first appeared in the late 1970s. Punk rock, and genres influenced by it, had used National Socialist imagery for shock value, but those bands were usually not fascist. This changed when Oi!, a genre of punk rock, became popular with white power skinheads. The ambiguity of National Socialist chic can make it difficult to identify a band's intentions, especially when the bands do not express a clear political message. Academics usually identify these bands as neo-Nazi by analyzing their worldview. Scholar Helene Lööw estimated the total amount of bands in 2000 as 200-250.
