Most people I know who are into Celtic music in the US are either pagans, vegans, or liberal fags. But that's only because they don't understand the racist connotations associated with Celtic music.
Is the term "Celtic music" inappropriate?
Is the term “Celtic music” inappropriate?
"The term “Celtic music” has been widely used worldwide as a collective term for traditional music in Celtic-speaking regions, including Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Brittany and so on, with festivals like the Inter Celtic Music Festival in Lorient, France, having a history of 50 years.
While the historical connection between ancient Celts and modern Celtic music remains unclear, the linguistic relationship of Celtic languages in these regions has never been denied. Therefore, I believe that the term “Celtic music” is appropriate for describing the contemporary traditional music played in these Celtic language regions.
However, there are arguments in Japan claiming that the term “Celtic music” is inappropriate for the following reasons:
1.It evokes a connection between Celtic music and ancient Celtic people.
2.It may lead to racism and extreme right-wing exclusionism.
3.It is seen as a commercial term.
I personally believe that Celtic music is a concept nurtured within the revival movements of oppressed ethnic cultures and endangered languages, such as those suppressed by imperial powers like Britain, France, and Spain. Denying this concept raises ethical concerns about denying ethnic identities.
For example, just as no one considers Bossa Nova, a type of Latin music, to be the music of ancient Latin people, the validity of the term “Celtic music” remains unchanged even if modern Irish music and ancient Celtic music were unrelated.
I would like to hear your opinions on the use of the term “Celtic music.”

“Celtic” as Contemporary Racism
“Celtic” viewed as modern racism: Historians caution against using and promoting the term due to racial divisions. Traditional music can be discussed by referring to Ireland without mentioning ancient ethnic groups. The historical accuracy of “Celtic” in the British Isles is questioned. Promoting a “fake history” raises concerns. Scholars warn that “Celtic” can perpetuate racism by implying superiority and victimhood. The idea of constant victimhood can justify violence. Some proponents of “Celtic music” propagate a victimhood narrative, potentially fostering hatred. The theory of Celts as ancestors of white Europeans may attract far-right groups. Emphasizing “Celtic identity” in Northern Ireland could exacerbate conflicts. Neo-Nazis infiltrating a St. Patrick’s Day parade raises concerns. Music shapes perceptions. Defining “Celtic” is challenging, and its misuse can lead to unintended consequences."
