Satanism in "Popular Culture"

The concept of an 'Anti-Christ' is always mistaken with 'Satanism' .. Anti-Christ refers to anti-Christianity! Maybe for 2 different reasons (a) Either if you don't believe in Christ and his preachings or (B) You are against all that popularity given to Christ resulting in a hype in mainstream tourism, Loads of money being spent , asking people to convert into Christians!

Where as 'Satanism' refers to Devil worship! It's a religion on it's own. Following Satan's teachings is popularly considered worshiping the devil or as embracing the evil! Again , these are just popular talks. One who believes in Satan has his own reason for being a Satanist!

When It comes to the music scene, the terms 'Anti-Christ' and 'Satanism' are vastly used in genres like METAL. Here the origin of the scene starts from Norway, Sweden from their Viking ancestors. The usage of such ideas promotes the same through teenagers , adults and results in events such as church burnings , rebellious mass gatherings , etc . Now a days a true Satanist is really hard to find! All those youngsters out there who listen to metal(mostly black metal) consider themselves as Satanists. It seams as though Popular Culture is taking over Satanism. Kids think it is cool be believe in Satan and going against Christ!Most of them don't even know the teachings of Satan. They just believe in him cause it's "Cool" according to the Popular talks! Underground music is becoming popular which is resulting in making Satanism a subject to popular culture ! "Popularizing good music is nothing but killing it ". The value of a true "Anti-Christ" or "Satanist" is now lost! Now you can see many teenagers dressed in black calling themselves evil! Metal is becoming like hip hop(Too fucking commercial..) It'll become a game played by the corporate and media soon! Metal is meant to be underground and unpopular ! Save it! Save the good music!

Be a true metalhead! Help and save Metal .. Don't Popularize it !.. Go ahead , Commercialize it if you want to see it die !

Keep it underground!

\m/ Keep fucking supporting metal \m/

looking on the bright side, however, popular culture is always propping up temporary gods... soon being a metalhead won't be cool anymore and all the posers will run to ditch it. but while it is popular, enjoy the ride! at least this way metal gets much more recognition in the sense that the really good artists are actually being appreciated to a greater extent...

mayhaps you don't agree with me, but thats what i've noticed when it comes to most popular movements ^_^

overall, quite an informative post. there IS some improvement in the writing quality from your first post. obviously, you must keep it up ^D ta!
