Hi, I'm too young to remember the great Satanic panic of the 1980s so I thought it was just an overblown PTA type of reaction to Heavy Metal. It's quite obvious to me that Satan is more prevalent in popular culture today than ever before because it's right in our face and no one cares or seem to notice. The fact that it's mainstream artists and the normalization of it is extraordinary disturbing. Even from a secular point of view, you can easily view bands who seemed "Satanic" in the 1980s were essentially the musical equivalent of "Vincent Price". Even "Alice Cooper" is Christian but is still "Alice Cooper" the character. I figured it's the horror aspect that scared people about Satan back then. I can't name one band associated in that scene that really are devil worshipers or endorse the devil. I have seen consistent mockery of Christianity for the last 10 years in Hollywood completely blatantly. Well, that's my argument. Did anyone live through that and if so did it feel as authentic a reaction as we're having now with the public displays of Satanic imagery?
