==Personaggio o gruppo:== Laibach
Storia
I Laibach sono un gruppo musicale sloveno di avanguardia fortemente associato con gli stili musicali industriale, marziale e neoclassico. I Laibach si sono formati il 1° Giugno 1980 a Trbovlje, Slovenia. I Laibach rappresentano un'ala musicale del colletivo artistico Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK), di cui è stato un membro fondatore nel 1984. Il nome Laibach è il nome tedesco della capitale della Slovenia, Ljubljana.
I Laibach sono statai accusati frequentemente di posizioni politica sia di estrema sinistra che di estrema destra a causa dell'uso di uniformi e estetica totalitaria e anche per l'influenza wagneriana nella loro musica, principalmente in "Sympathy for the Devil (Time for a Change)" e Macbeth. Sono stati accusati anche di essere membri del movimento neonazionalistico che reincarna moderne idee del nazionalismo. Messi di fronte a tali accuse, i Laibach dice che abbiano risposto, " Noi siamo fascisti tanto quanto Hitler era un pittore." [1] Dato che Hitler era un pittore in gioventù questa risposta non nega apertamente le accuse ma bensì alimenta l'ambiguità legata alla band.
