White supremacists who use music to spread their message have harnessed the power of the internet, Perry said. Playlists with songs like White Power, Rock against Islam and Burn the Koran are easily found on the wildly popular video-sharing site. A 2016 study co-authored by Perry, titled You-Tubing White Power Music: An exploration of Hate Anthems Online, relied on a particular YouTube playlist as a case study.

And not only does white power music cross geographical boundaries, it also crosses all musical genres.
