[QUOTE="posbleak:1317590"][QUOTE="Burnsy:1317575"]I can't speak intelligently about any of these examples you're throwing out there haha. And I respect your opinion so I'm not just gonna talk out of my ass. You can speak intelligently on a topic without believing in it obviously. The way this topic got brought up is how bands that use occult/satanic themes use them to seem dark, evil and edgy. Is the position you've taken indicative of you supporting this behavior from musicians? I find it hard to believe you do. Maybe as a musician, I take the medium too seriously. [/QUOTE] Yeah, I'm no musician, so there's absolutely a disconnect. (You should definitely watch Rosemary's Baby, though, it's awesome.) Was going to use Alice Cooper as an example but he's a bad one since his lyrical content is less "hail Satan!" and more "beware of Satan, he's a total jagoff" To some people, myself included, Satanism in metal is a lot like hedonism in glam rock. It's part of the show and part of the aesthetic and a big part of the performance ~experience~ but we all know that the musicians still go home to their relatively normal lives and probably aren't sacrificing goats in the backyard or having gigantic pansexual glitter orgies every night. I definitely think that actual practicing pagans or Satanists will have more depth to add to the conversation and should be considered and heard when others are using their symbolism. Outsiders co-opting symbolism and rituals from other faiths and cultures is cultural appropriation, after all...[/QUOTE]
