Their lyrics often attack political correctness; for example, the cover of the single "Bad Mongo" depicts Adolf Hitler as a mental retard, and in the song "Hobbit Motherfuckers", they complain that there is "not enough suffering" and "not enough natural selection". Their genre of punk has been described as Death punk by some, including, arguably, by the band itself in their lyrics ("gimme deathpunk baby, and I like it", from the song "Get it on"). Turbonegro have been praised by some as playing the most up-to-date form of punk, and refusing to be categorized being nowhere as clearly expressed as in this anarchic blend of humour, shock and sexuality.In 1998 singer Hank Von Helvete underwent treatment for heroin dependency. The group disbanded, with Von Helvete returning to his childhood town in northern Norway where he worked at a radio station and fishing museum. During the next four years, the band members would rarely speak, however the momentum from their previous albums (most especially Ass Cobra and Apocalypse Dudes) would continue to grow as more and more music fans would get turned onto their music. Unbeknownst to the band, Turbonegro was becoming a cult phenomenon. In 2002 the members met to discuss possibly regrouping and touring. The initial practice sessions a success, Turbonegro rewoke from its slumber to reinvade Europe with its deathpunk sound. The response exceeded all expectations. Concerts were sold-out, fans were rabid, and Turbonegro was rejuvenated. An extensive tour of the United States followed in 2003.A feature of Turbonegro's fan base is the Turbojugend, the band's fan club. The first Turbojugend chapter started in St Pauli, Hamburg, Germany, with later chapters appearing throughout the world, St. Pauli being the unofficial capital. Chapter members identify themselves by wearing specially-made denim jackets with the Turbonegro logo and "Turbojugend [name of city]" stitched on the back.
