I mean, it's possible to like bands but not buy into their ideologies. I love Propagandhi but don't agree with all of their positions. Pretending that they don't have those positions so you never have to interrogate your own positions is the essence of being a poser though.
It's called cognitive dissonance, when a person holds two conflicting ideas or beliefs. It's stressful to acknowledge the conflict and change beliefs and behaviours, so people instead do mental gymnastics to justify holding both.
Cognitive dissonance is actually the state of holding conflicting feelings, beliefs, and actions, and it's supposed to be stressful. Changing beliefs or actions relieves stress.
