Well you might want to be able to argue against them or point out to
othres where lyrics are distasteful. I mean I've never met the thrash
band Slayer but I care that they wrote a song about Josef Mengele,
surely not a fit thing to create *entertainment* about!

It ought to. Aren't a neo-Nazi band like Skrewdriver offensive for their
lyrics regardless of their musical style?
