Turn It Down

About Me


Turn It Down is youth, bands, parents, teachers, and friends in the record industry speaking out, standing up, and turning down the sounds of hate.

For the past ten years, Turn It Down has united thousands of young people and hundreds of bands, record labels, distributors, pressing facilities, and booking agents to work against the spread of hatred.

STEAL THIS BANNER!

White power music has become the most significant recruiting tool for organized bigots across the globe. It has succeeded in infiltrating numerous youth subcultures, transforming healthy youth rebellion into hardcore white supremacy. The Turn It Down Campaign seeks not to demonize all youth culture, but to create a culture that is immune to the hatred and violence that white power music represents by teaming with young people, parents and teachers, and the record industry

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Fans of any music genre who want to keep racist hatred out of their scenes; bands and artists who want to help keep shows safe; parents who want to respect their kids’ taste for music and culture outside the mainstream, but who also want to keep hate out of their homes; teachers and other youth workers who respect the role music plays in their students’ lives, and who also want to keep their schools and programs free from hate.
