If the leftists are all about heavy metal and punk, I wonder what the right-wing crowd listens to? Is it just country music and stadium anthems? Does the left actually possess better taste in music?

Could someone please explain why this thread is being permitted to descend into such mockery regarding the death of Vlatko Marković, especially when the standard rule is that people usually exercise some level of restraint immediately following a passing? Is there any actual recourse for punishing forum members for hate speech under these circumstances?
