I dunno – the hardcore side of punk has always had a pretty extreme, right fringe. I’m sure they’d equally cringe if someone called them conservative, but they’re pretty similar, ideologically.
I think the problem is the (widespread) misuse of the term “conservative”. One can be very right wing indeed but not be conservative. “Liberal” is even more heartily misused, considering a real liberal would fall on the right and not the left. Ah well, it’s all bollocks, really.
Things may not be what they seem?

Not sure what you mean.

Maybe they’re just saying that they’re conservative to jab at the true conservatives?
