Answer 1

Most of it is. It just depends on if it's Satanic or not. Much of it, like Megadeth, Marilyn Manson, even Metallica speaks of hell being fun and Jesus and Christianity being stupid.

Answer 2

Are you asking a question or giving a sermon?

The argument against Rock music dates back to my teens when Elvis Presley first broke down the barriers set up against white Pop music and Race music - R&B, Blues, Jazz, and even Doo Wop. Anal retentive, uptight white men were mostly aghast that their teenagers, especially their teenage daughters, might like black music from the likes of Chuck Berry or Little Richard more than their "sensible and decent" music like Patti Page and Lawrence Welk.
The same argument that rock and roll was the devil's music is still around today but the segregation of radio is not. Whether a child is influenced negatively by the music they listen to is directly related to the quality of their upbringing by loving, attentive parents who give them the freedom to choose with the responsibility of accepting the results of their choices. Obviously, this does require some measure supervision because most children make poor choices.
Today's rock and roll is mostly crap. The genre lost most of its authenticity and improvisation by 1976. There are some good exceptions, but they are very few and far between.

Answer 3

You turned a question into a preaching session. That, I don't like.. and I don't think that rock music has that much influence on kids today. Rap, maybe.. but not rock. I think people woke up to that a while back. And who knows, maybe Jesus would have dug Metallica, you never know.

Answer 4

It depends. All music influences us in one way or another. It can make us feel lively or sadden us. I think certain people are atracted to certain music. Maybe those people we hear about being serial killers that listened to heavy metal were born with a predisposition to committ those acts; and he was just drawn to that type of music. In other words, it is the person who is evil and not the music. People who listen to death metal and all that heavy "satanic" music may just listen because they like the sound or whatever; it doesn't mean they are devil worshippers. So to answer your question, I think evil is in a person to begin with, and the music may contribute or influence him.

Answer 5

People can be impressionable.
Teenage years are the time in which people call into question all the things they have taken for granted just because someone they trusted "told them so" while they were a completely impressionable child. It's a good thing. People "lie" to us alot when we are little, or simply "dumb things down" because they think we are incapable of comprehension of the complexities of concepts, or because they don't want to take the time to delve into things they don't think we should know about yet. (Thoroughly explaining would mean explaining why.)
That's why teenagers experiment with things.
It's easier to tell your kid that drugs and alcohol kill brain cells and/or ruin lives and spirit, than it is to explain to them the individual and residual side effects of each. As parents, we would rather our children obey us immediately without question than to have to explain to them why we tell them to do what we are telling them. In part it's because there isn't always time. If I tell my son "hold my hand", or "come here quick" because I see a car approaching that he, in his state of wonderment at things, does not, I don't have time to explain or he will be hit. We spend the first 5 years of their lives trying to prevent them from accidentally killing themselves anyway. It's a difficult transition for parents to make too. Rather than offering them blind security, to offer them the knowledge they require to make their own decisions and simply hoping you have provided enough guidance that they will be the right ones. People who write/listen to the music you're talking about, had a lot of concepts shoved into their faces without any explanation provided for the underlying concepts. They rebel. That's the point of the lyrics of the music; defying/questioning the concept, not promoting negative ideals. I may sound like I am making a broad generalization, and I can only speak from my own experience, but I have worked in varying capacities of the music industry in multiple facets for about 20 years, and have met/hung out with/worked with many of the people/bands mentioned elsewhere on this page. Not bad people, and not bad personal ideals at all. Granted, to a certain degree, there is the marketability aspect, but if the concepts that are being defied/rebelled against were thoroughly explained by parents, then there would be no market.
If you, yourself were an atheist once, how did someone convince you that something/someone that you didn't believe in had the capacity to punish you in any fashion? How is the concept of pending, potential of punishment a motivation for believing what you are asking people to believe? If parents/society in general were better at explaining the concepts that they are expecting people to blindly accept, then people/teenagers would not be so impressionable, because they would have a foundation of their own observed learning and other peoples learned experiences to build from. In my opinion you play off the impressionability of people/teenagers in what you do, as much as the music industry does. Not that one message is better than another, that's for the listener to decide, but you are just a different side of the same coin. The only hope for anyone is to educate themselves as much as possible, not take anything either of you say at face value, and make up their own minds. That's what teenage years are for, weeding out the crap you've been handed as a kid, and building a foundation of reason to be an adult who makes informed decisions based on your own perception of your own learned knowledge through observation.

Answer 6

Thank you... But you know, pretty much EVERY single person who lives in the US knows that stuff. If someone is Atheist, it's because they understand the concept and think it's bull. Such as myself.
So, as a teenager, I will keep rejecting your 'god' and I will continue to blare my rock music. And also rap.

Answer 7

Brother it is not the music, it is the words that are put with it. There are good Christian songs in every genre out there.

If you would like a comparison chart, send me an email and I will get you one.

Answer 8

depends upon the language used as there are several good Christian Rock Bands as well as Rap. However, depends upon the band and their agenda. like everything else depends upon the people involved as there is no totally good or totally bad in anyone or any group.

Answer 9

Yes it does have a bad influence. Notice that the subject that most rockers sing about are drugs, violence, and sex. Who wants to teach their teens to think all that junk is cool? It only ruins them.

Answer 10

Jesus didn't tell you to pray to him.

He taught a much better prayer - the one that starts: Our Father...
