Without trying to create a shitstorm it was originally the old Catholics. In the early 1900's basically everything that wasn't Country or Classical was considered "Devil's Music." It wasn't until everyone stopped giving a shit and started listening to artists outside of Country that they finally shut up about it for the most part.

However, the church-going population that had those ideas were generally white. The black people from those times up until hip-hop/rap was invented always had a love for any type of music.

It's been happening for a long time. And I mean a long fucking time. Part of it is black metal. Religious people a lot of the time find black metal to be offensive. It's almost all "hail Satan" sort of stuff. Gaahl for instance (guy in the picture) and his band at the time (Gorgoroth) had a concert in Poland that featured impaled goat and sheep heads, satanic symbols, and mock crusifictions with models covered in fake blood. (If you want to see a video of theirs with that same sort of thing, look up Carving a Giant on youtube.) So naturally things got blown out of proportion, and all metal got associated with satanism.

Just, Just damn. Thats some weird shit, But I guess its weird that I watch MLP so i really shouldn't call it weird. I should call it Different. Ill look it up and see whats up with it.

I'm a brony as well and listen to all kinds of metal. Black metal in my opinion is some of the more strange stuff.

black metal is the one with anti-religion lyrics. It's the one most associated with satanism. There was a band, called Mayhem, where the singer(Dead) would sing with a dead crow in his hand, had beheaded animals on pikes, and would cut himself on stage. One former member killed another with 25 stabs, and the singer killed himself. He did it at first by slitting his wrists, but then used a shotgun because it was too slow. He even left a note that basically said sorry for the mess

......wait..what?

Per Ohlin was a boss

they moved some stuff around for that pic

Euronymous thought it would have looked better if everything was in the picture apparently

had to make it more brutal

It was 2brootal for some people

name was Varg, he also burned churches

been happening for some time. I say it's due to the growls and screaming. People don't properly listen to it. I've heard songs that have the same meaning, yet one would be classified as satanic simply because of the growls. It sometimes happens in other genres as well

Hmm, well know I know, thx
I was expecting someone to tell me to get off the internet or something.

The two songs I mentioned. Both metal, although different subgenres of it

and a rock song that tends to get misinterpreted
