Hmmm... I love (black) denim and I always wear combat boots... I've had
a (partly) shaved head. I wouldn't wear a swastika and I don't like
what it stood for, but I've always kind of liked it as a design... and
the fact that it shows up in nearly every culture on earth (I've seen
them in Pompeii) and is still considered a sacred symbol among (for
example) Hindus.
I even made a veailed ref to these factoids in my thesis film, though I
replaced swastikas w/ spirals. which are nearly as common.
It's a shame a perfectly good symbol/design was ruined.
