Dead Kennedys was an American hardcore punk band from San Francisco, California. During the 1980s, the band gained a large underground following in the international punk music scene.

The music of the Dead Kennedys mixed the more experimental elements of British 1970s punk with the raw energy of the 1980s American hardcore punk scene.

Dead Kennedys' songs mix the deliberately shocking lyrics of punk with a humorous, acerbic, satirical, and sarcastic left-wing commentary on current social and political issues.

Many of the band's songs criticize the right-wing ideologies of the religious right and the Ronald Reagan administration.
