Ok, I have a question. I don't really know what you all are considering as satanic music, but I'm going to guess that it's the heavy metal and goth music. So my question is do you think that these bands seriously believe in the satanic lyrics they are spewing out or are they just trying to be tough and edgy to sell records? And if you feel like they're just doing it to sell records and that they aren't really a bunch of devil-worshippers, does that make a difference in whether or not it's ok to listen to their music?
My personal feeling is that a lot of the stuff that goths are into is pretty lame. A lot of them are just high school kids that are trying to be like their older, gothier friends (and in my opinion, after a certain age, if you're still rocking the goth look, you're super-lame) and trying to freak out their parents. I mean, how REAL can you be when you buy your clothes and your personality and your persona from Hot Topic. Personally, I think a lot of these kids are into the whole goth scene to freak their parents out and because they think they're being such rebels and non-conformists. And I think they're are bands that cater to that to sell records (also dressing goth, having "dark" lyrics, having a stage show or a music video that's "scary"). To me, it all just comes across as trying too hard, and that's lame.
