This thread is scary. The complete dismissal of deeper psychology and anything more than a shallow, literal take on aesthetics. The use of semantics to co-opt and render meaningless words and phrases in order to synthesize contradiction.
Its hard for me to deal with how fucking insane you all are. Run, NOW, read Freud, and major works on media and music aesthetics. Come back and then tell me how you find it acceptable to synthesize Christian tenets with music that is fueled by anger, is militaristic and destructive in nature, and throws material pleasure in the face of Christian utilitarianism.
This thread is a perfect example of the mistake of specialization. Opinions spit out within such narrow parameters, without regard to history or greater context.
Pass the fucking barf bucket.
