The growth of leftist totalitarianism of the early 20th century produced a counter right expansion which enveloped otherwise neutral poetic/alternative camps into their fold as pro-establishment, that's what the self-preservation instinct tends to do during apocalyptic events such as WWI and WWII, so "troubadours of the State" is a tad excessive description, though the neo-nihilist tag is spot-on. That's where I place Dali.
