A Parents Guide to the Youth's Music by Rigmor Mortensson
I know that it can be difficult, sometimes impossible to keep up with the times as a parent. One day hip hop is in, another day it's hard rock etc.
Music and playing it has always been part of being a human. Moses and the israelites often praised the lord in song (e.g. 2 Mos 15:20). Jesus had dealings with musicians (e.g. Matthew 9:23) and all aroung the country people humm the tunes of some good song. Music is not only a way of interacting, it is also a way of expressing one's feelings and opinions. Thus far music can seem ideal since it provides love and warmth.
But not all music is good. Satan is very eager to score easy points and his music is not always so easy to recognise as the evil message is camouflaged. How would you react if you found out that your child is listening to satanic music? To weed out dangerous music you need knowledge. But, as it was allready said, it is very difficult to see which music is ill suited and even dangerous to your child. Here I will explain the concepts once and for all.
Soul
Soul originates from America, where black slaves passed
the time by singing. Wery rapidly soul, the name of which is an ironisation
of christianitys view of the soul, came to be about mocking the white employers
and all of christianity. One developed a sort of inverted "speaking in tongues"
that became the slaves' method of communicating without their employers understanding
them, while at the same time this language was considered the one that Satan
himself spoke. Trough this inverted language one could make contacts with the
Devil and mock all that is good. It's not entirely unheard of for soul to contain
so called subliminal messages. These messages are well hidden in the music and
wery difficult to hear, but none the less implant themselves in the consciousness.
These messages usually encourage suicide and burning of churches. Soul music
is extremely dangerous and has since a decade become all the more common among
younger people. Violence and drugs are commonplace in this music that regrettably
seems to be here to stay.
Hip
Hop
A monotonous musical style that rarely contains more than
one or two repeatedly occurring melodies. The reason for the monotony is for
the listener to sink into a trance-like state. The song can best be described
as a speech, where the words are spoken in a rapid and rythmic succsession.
Lyrics in hip hop are often very antisemitic and promote violence, drug use
as well as encourages young girls to have abortions. The musical style that
rooted itself in Sweden during the early eighties originates among the black
in America and their suburban gangs. Suburban gangs that also have become more
commonplace in Sweden are often small "clans" in which youth are converted into
violent offenders trough satanic propaganda. So called Rap, the more aggressive
subgenre of hip hop, is often very influenced by the racist and antisemitic
sect Nation of Islam, that wants to destroy christianity trough violence and
elevate Satan, in the shape of Allah, to be the only permitted god. Example
of band: MC Hammer
Techno
An industrial musical style that has it's roots among
the white youth gangs of Europe's larger cities. Techno is an extremely drug
glorifying musical style and has during the nineties mostly been known for the
so called rave parties, that are held at night time in often remote and secluded
locations. During a rave the participating young often take large amounts of
drugs to, as it is said, "open their senses to the fourth dimension and become
one with Satan". To the blinking of strong lights and the accompaniement of
unhealthily loud music the affected youngsters dance uninhibitedly and intensively
in often very contorted positions untill they faint from exhaustion. Drugs destroy
the Temple of the Holy Ghost! It's naturally not difficult to draw paralells
between this behaviour and the black sabbaths where whiches danced all night
long for the glory of Satan. Examples of bands: Vanilla Ice, Prodigy and Aqua
Black
Metal
A musical style that has been around since the late 1970:ties
when the brittish group Venom came up with the monicer. Black metal is very
intensive and shrieky. At a hellish speed Satan is praised both left and right
with twisted guttural voices. Black metal musicians openly display the fact
that they are satanists. Lyrics very often glorify satanism and vent their hatred
against God and all good people. Human sacrifice and rape of defenseless girls
is thoroughly described. Many black metal bands are composed of vegetarians
that don't eat animals since they think animals are worth more than humans.
Rightwing extremism and nazism is a recurring theme within black metal music.
The extermination of jews during the second world war is denied and those that
don't do it think of the holocaust as something good that must be worked for!
One can easily recognise the adherents of this music by their long hair dyed
black, their black clothes and facial make-up (so called Corne paint). Symbols
such as pentagrams, so-called "peace signs" and inverted crosses are frequent
on album covers and as jewelry. Within this genre, drugs and violence also occur
frequently. Approximately 80% of all those involved with black metal are heavy
drug-users and a sizable portion are also homo- or bisexuall. To praise Satan,
they frequently burn churches, sacrifice humans and disturb graves. Much of
their inspiration comes from the american satanist leader Anton LaVey and the
artist Jon Bon Jovi who within this musical genre is seen as a sort of spiritual
figurehead. Examples of bands: Anthrax, Danzig and Darkthrone
Death
Metal
Shares to a large degree the same attributes and ideology
as black metal. Musically they are nearly identical. Death metal is distinguished
from black metal by being more political. Leftwing extremism and communism is
frequent within death metal. Examples of bands: Entombed, Samael and Iron Maiden.
Punk
Punk is criticism against the world order created by God.
Many punk bands promote anarchy. The thought behing anarchy as a political system
is that it will plunge the world into chaos for Satan to take over. There is
also a political side to punk that can be both right- or leftwing extremist.
The music is characterised by shrieking vocals and bad guitar sounds. The music
sounds the way it does partly to disguise lacking musical prowes, but also to
describe the chaos that is sought after. Violence, racism and drugs are very
frequently occurring within punk. It is frequent for punks to comb their hair
into a so-called cock's crest. The cock's crest symbolises a sharp knife that
is pointed towards heaven to wound God. Many punks wear leather jackets covered
by sharp studs and satanic propaganda. A shirt with a cross with a line drawn
over it and the text "Bad Religion" occurs frequently among young punks. The
so-called "peace sign", or Nero's cross which is the correct name, is a cross
where the arms have been bent downwards to symbolise the demise of christianity.
This symbol accompanied by an A (symbolises the Antichrist and anarchy) is often
represented on the cover of records and shirts. Examples of bands: Offspring
and Exploited
Industrial
Industrial as a musical genre is a sort of hybryd between
punk and techno. The songs are often long and monotonous. electronic sounds
and insane screams characterizes the music. Often it is satanic and not seldom
it glorifies extreme left-wing violent actions. Individualists are driven by
a strong ideological idea that the bilble is false. Instead one spends much
time reading Marx and Engels Communist Manifest that are industrial music main
inspirational source. One feel betrayed by the adult world and God, and because
of this see the world as an unpleasant place. With revolutionary thoughts one
wants to (just as in punk music) create disorder and confusion in the world
to secure the coming of Satan and the final destruction of the human kind. Examples
of bands: Mortiis, Dead Can Dance and Hellspiders
