Wherever one goes today multitudes of teens and young children can be seen avidly imitating and idolizing the vast array of musicians and their decadent chic culture and lifestyle. Television, satellite radio, iPods and the internet have revolutionized and intensified the accessibility to this hypnotic, godless spirit (2 Cor. 4:3-4; Eph. 2:1-2). America’s youth in particular are being intoxicated and brainwashed at an exponential rate with Lucifer’s subtle and godless message of “Do as Thou wilt.”
What is even more tragic is the majority of “out to lunch” parents who are totally oblivious and gullible about the damnable influence this culture and its demonic propaganda has over their children. These are messages of godlessness, anti-authority, licentiousness and promiscuity, immorality, vice, drug use, suicide, anarchy, violence, rape, “godless good,” delusional aspirations and fallen human hopes apart from the Creator in righteousness. These OTL parents are just as delusional and are products themselves of the same brainwashing and narcissistic tactics used by the Devil in the decadent and subjective 60’s music culture.

I blame TV more...
If you look back look how the progression has come along. To us...Elvis is wimpy compared to those of today’s genre (Ozzy, Marylyn Manson etc...). That just shows how callus we have come in the last 50 years.
Its sad... that is how far we have fallen. Only a strong family unit which teaches the core Biblical beliefs of morality and Devine accountability will make it today.
Amen!
I grew up in the heavy meatal era...and that was cutting edge Vile on all fronts. What I hear today scares me to death. All the anti God, death culture..etc... vile band names... It’s passed the point of no return. What will be next?
We tried that in the 80’s with Tipper Gore etc... it failed. They want their subjects to be as base as possible to drink the Kool aid.
AC/DC... orchestra?... wow...
Remember Satanic is the mind set that rejects all of God’s absolutes in rebellion and passion. “Do as thou wilt” Satanic does not necessarily mean the boogie man. That is a straw man to deceive.
My friend I think in your own sentence you proved your self wrong. It is the reflection of the heart of man made manifest on the outside in deeds and works. I disagree (no offence). I believe they go hand in hand.
It is for sure its bed partner!
Note: Not everyone here recognizes sarcasm. :-)
God must like metal. He created Ted Nugent.
Lol, so true.
You don't understand that people are not corrupted by the music, they listen to this kind of music and they make this kind of music because they are corrupt in their own hearts. It is popular because we as a society have rejected God and the music we listen to and play is a reflection of that rejection of God.
It is the reflection of the heart of man made manifest on the outside in deeds and works
That is the point I was making. Good men make good music. Good men listen to good music. People with reprobate hearts listen to reprobate music. They buy it. They encourage others to make it. If there were no market for evil music, there would be very little of it.
Ha! Hilarious!
I WISH. I make music for a living folks and I’ll be the first to tell you that we have little to no influence at all these days. Maybe 20 years ago, sure.
Currently there is not a single band on this planet that’s half as influential as Snookie, Linsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and these other morons floating around this toilet culture.
You may think “musicians” have had a bad influence and you could be right about that, but at the very least they DID SOMETHING to earn a living.
Black Sabbath could never be as evil as Jersey Shore!
Blind Guardian! Their “Nightfall on Middle Earth” album is my favorite.
Exactly P-Marlowe......I remember well playing Bach in my backyard during the hippie generation...with woodstock less than an hours drive from me...I was of that generation but not in it...had grave concerns for my own peers. It was a rebellious time more than anything else....anti-this anti- that....and the music was primarily about drug tripping and the establishment...I was embarrassed to call it my generation.
