It’s just amazing how ingrained the Nazis were(and likely still are though I haven’t been there in years) in Orange country. I remember I went to a restaurant in the early 00s as an East Coast anti racist skinhead. The Nazis thought I was one of theirs. Some server chick had to show me her Himmler tattoo. Whole place is lousy with them. Where the old troma flick surf Nazis must die premise came from.
I mean, the Israelis are committing genocide. How is that not the ultimate irony right now? What a sad world we live in, and what a sad species we are.
Part of it is just how Nazi recruiting and attempting to get a foothold works. They see a subculture with disaffected youth and societal outcasts (especially young men) and think of it as an opportunity. All subcultures have to remain vigilant because Nazis will do their best to subvert and appropriate anything and everything that they can to try to spread their socio-political disease.
Some more current examples are gaming, the chans, and fitness clubs/events (ex. Spartan Race). Not all of them are filled with Nazis but, they have been used as recruiting tools.

The very idea of a “nazi punk” is honestly mindboggling.

Well, there’s antisemites in Israel, so why not Nazi punks.
