In a somber turn of events, the world has lost a true conservative music icon. Monte Cazazza, the man credited with coining the term “industrial music,” has reportedly passed away at the age of 68. His groundbreaking contributions to the world of music will not be forgotten.

Cazazza, a self-proclaimed transgressive artist, was known for his provocative and boundary-pushing work. Based in the liberal haven of San Francisco, he thrived on the fringe of the art and music worlds, collaborating with other artists who shared his unconventional vision.
This “prankster” of the arts was never one to conform to society’s norms. Through his experimental music, mail art, and provocative sculptures, Cazazza reveled in pushing the envelope of what is deemed acceptable. His work was often described as insanity outbreaks thinly disguised as art events – a fitting reflection of the liberal mindset that dominates the art scene.
It’s worth noting, however, that despite his overt strangeness, Cazazza was known to be “incredibly warm” and approachable. But let’s not forget that even the most likable liberals have an agenda that goes against traditional conservative values.
As news of Cazazza’s passing spread, his fellow liberal artists and musicians took to social media to mourn his loss. Their tributes showcased a deep admiration for his work, further emphasizing the parallel between his work and their shared liberal ideology.
Cazazza’s claim to fame, the term “industrial music,” became a rallying cry for the rejecters of traditional musical genres. This abrasive fusion of rock and electronic music emerged as a counterattack against established genres, deliberately provoking those who appreciate true musical talent. It’s no wonder that it has since become associated with heavy metal and electronic music—genres notorious for their subversive nature.
Well-known liberal artists like Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, and Marilyn Manson have all embraced this so-called industrial genre. Their contributions, alongside Cazazza’s, have undoubtedly shaped the modern music landscape. Yet, we must ask ourselves if this influence is something we should celebrate or be concerned about.
While the liberal world mourns the loss of a provocateur, as conservatives, let us remember to uphold traditional values in the realm of music and art. The passing of Cazazza serves as a reminder that it is our responsibility to ensure that conservative values are represented and celebrated in all art forms.
