satanic?!

I used to really hate it when someone listens to a dark and or angsty song and *some* people call it satanic. It really irks me. Less so since i became a satanist, as i know they are just [[demonizing]] things they don't like, and since now i know about Satanism, it just really strikes me as sad and ironic. It still irks me though, as it insinuates so many things about Satan.

Any thoughts?

Examples?

The hick principal at my high school saw a friend's Slipknot shirt and thought it was "Satanic".

I really don't give two shits if someone things something is "Satanic". There are better things to worry about.

examples? metallica, pink floyd, ozzy osborune, and a couple others were acutally brought into court a few decades ago for one.

Personally with me? Linkin Park and System of a down have been called satanic. one teacher at the pentacostal private school i went to called system of a down musicians who were terrorists. i had a ball with that one. they are for human rights and peace. she must of heard some filth missinformation/propaganda back when "Chop Suey!" came out a week before 9/11, supposedly about suicide bombing, but the reference to Jesus on the Cross makes it a song that could be taken multiple ways.

My chemical Romance as well, and even Eninem, though I don't listen to him. Anything with a heavy beat and dark or angsty lyrics has been called satanistic if played around the right group of Christians. In my experience Baptists and the fundamentalists I knew at worse would call it un-god honoring, secular, and humanistic. With the Apostolics and Pentecostals I knew, adn this is just hte ones I knew, not all, they would just call it Satanist.I think it has to do with that the baptist and fundamentalist churches i knew were more theologically literate, and knew that according to the bible, the things WOULD be humanistic and secular, but not satanic.

Then again I am talking about only three churches, a baptist/fundamental one, an apostolic one, and a pentacostal one. my experiences are probably not representative of the whole spectrum in the respective denominations.

Those are my personal examples. It's still funny when people don't take a satanist's word for it that something isn't Satanic.

And pre-emptively posting this before JHM does it.

Satanic is just a synonym for "swag".

I doubt my LP shirt with the dove, twin snakes and bull skull has that much swag to it.

Relevant?

Thank you.

But yes, it's more than a bit silly, especially considering the fact that most actual Satanists are pretty harmless.

I heard Gaahl was actually a really nice guy. You know, except the whole "kidnapped a guy and tortured him for trespassing" thing.

Also, lol at Linkin Park and System Of A Down being satanic. I seriously have never heard anyone call them that, ever. At the very least, they could save it for black metal bands.

LOL at satanic.

Though it is fun to use music to convince people you're crazy.

I had this blasting out of my earphones around my neck all day at school once, got some strange looks.

lol using music to establish individuality

Nooooonsense.

Well at least you guys get specifics on who to kill and what to fuck.

This may not be the time or place, but wtf does "Swag" mean?

Sir, I cannot explain Swag to you.

It's sort of like, instead of pulling up to the mall on horseback. You pull up to the mall on unicorn-back.

But really,

Only Jasper the motherfuckin' Dolphin can explain Swag to you. Keeping in mind that Jasper is the greatest creative mind of our generation.

It developed from "Stuff We All Get", so like shopping merchandise or stuff like that. Now it just means awesome or cool or whatever the hell you want it to mean. For example, the following video is swag:

The fuck? Point being Odd Future is swag as fuck.

For the record, in case you didn't know, we do have an OFWGKTA thread. But it only has like four posts.

All I know about it is that I was in second place for "100% swagged out" in the yearbook last year. >_>

(*Is irritated about inability to watch Youtube videos, but kinda gets it now*)

Yeah I've posted there, it needs more attention.

Second place? That's swag.

Here's your free t-shirt, note that it says "Wolf Gang" on the front and "Golf Wang" on the back. This is intentional.
