For those who don't know, it stands for National-Socialist Black Metal.
I personally am not a big fan (mainly because I'm not a black metal fan overall)

Bigoted music (NSBM, Hatecore, etc) is either completely terrible or amazing, I almost never hear any 7/10's.
Peste Noire is maybe NSBM and they're great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_9Gu8TNo9I&list=PLU2302nMcZPvoCmgzi1A_Br_VYG4nGt2S

I don't know if it's fair to call them that just because they use the confederate flag a lot, but Lynyrd Skynyrd is awesome

Yeah people forget it really wasn't until 2015 (Charleston church shooting) that the Confederate flag was considered taboo by most people. You could go to a NASCAR game and there would Confederate flags everywhere, now they're banned. When I drive through the rural deep south however I still see many of them.
NSBM is the apex of tryhard music, completely devoid of any sense of depth or meaning, it's self-congratulatory in it's own edginess and is only liked by people that think they're a lot more controversial than they actually are, people that think others avoid them because they're too extreme when they're really just obnoxious and smelly. No overtly NSBM has ever achieved, well, anything, very few people would notice or care if this entire genre of "music" disappeared from reality overnight. It's represntative of the belief that fascism is a loser idealology, one who's adherants attempts to distribute it's own beliefs by putting on makeup and moaning into a mic. Any countercultural merits it's fans might attempt to ascribe to it are entirely dismissed based on the simple fact that the average anti-racist couldn't name one of these bands, nor could the average metalhead, because they are simply dogshit for shut-in nerds who think they're saving culture by arguing about Star Wars on Twitter.

So basically they're very ESOTERIC.
