Why do people say  that people who listen to rock music are with the devil or something like that?

Music is a gift from God. Song and praise where a part of worship since the ancient Isrealite days. That doesn't mean that all music is perfectly fine to listen to.\nProv. 6:27 says "Can a man rake together fire into his bosom and yet his very garments not be burned?" What this means is you can't expect to take it all in and it have no effect on you. I am a musician and I love rock, but you have to draw limits. If the lyrics or style bothers your conscience, don't listen to it. Don't let anyone tell you what only your conscience can decide. For me, some songs that swear a lot or that have violent or immoral themes bother me to listen to, so I don't.  1 Cor. 10:31 says “Whether you are eating or drinking or doing anything else, do all things for God’s glory.” If it brings dishonor to God, it is not acceptable. I'm glad you think to ask such things. Thanks.

Underground rock music is rock music played by bands that aren't in the mainstream. Their fans are generally made up of people who like all of their songs and not just a single. Their music doesn't exactly fit into what mainstream society (radio, Mtv, etc.) are listening to.

I do believe it is because we are living in a totally different world these days.  People are stressed, and sometimes they are crabby and just don't relize that they are the ones with the bad attitude.\nI also believe the devil and his demons are playing with us.  They can't make us stop believing in God, praying to God, talking with God or anything along that line, but the devil can interrupt our lives with TV, impatience, hatred, and etc...I think you get the picture.  So everytime I see someone who is being hateful, I smile and tell them to have a better day and go on.  Cut the devil out and you will see a change in people.\nJust don't become one yourself, a hater that is.

You've got to be kidding me with this question!  Get real...people listen to music if it is good.  Period.  Just because you don't like it or understand it doesn't mean it is bad.  If it is played on the radio someone thinks it is good.  And you don't have to act like that to get people to pay attention to you.  Seriously dude, get a life!

Because you are a TRUE lover of music you can appreciate all types.  People that hate are people that don't understand.  They are so narrow minded and one sided that it's actually sad for them that they can never broaden their horizons and be a true lover of music for a true appreciation of the arts.

dude ive never heard of it before..but thats seriuosly wrong.. i know your piont and ill repeat it.. all rap talks about is either\na. sex and f*cking ppl\nb. drugs... like that song "fireman"\nc. there cars, house, money, etc.\nso is that who these MAHR rejects want us to be? with rock you got em talking about breakups and deep feelings {blue october-hate me}, people like panic! at the disco keepin it real with "i write sins not tragedys" talking about how ppl jsut dont mind there own freakin business, to MCR's "ghost of you" mourning the loss of a loved one, and "to the end" wondering what many of us wonder if our significant other really does care as much as they say. if you look into these songs, you see a deep meaning of life.\non the other hand there is "crazy b*tch" i think like buck cherry or smething like that .. but its true, sounds like a crazy b*itch to me.\n\n-k

I've always had a greater preference for rock than any other genre. I find it is rarely predictable or monotonous---something I've found true of many other music forms. There are fewer limitations on the kind or 'quantity' of sound that a person can hear in any one rock song. I think it is this combination of variety that particularly draws me to this sound.\n\nI'm personally a lover of grunge music and artists such as Metallica and Nine Inch Nails. Where the former is concerned, the dissonance, the "dirty" guitar playing, the strong riffs, and heavy drumming is awesome and out of this world! Bands from other rock sub-genres, such as Metallica and NIN, have made ground breaking contributions to the music industry. Their sounds have defied traditional musical norms and created unique, terrific sounds that remain unrivaled by many artists.

AWESOME! Rock is a powerful force in the past causing parents, politcians and naysayers to go nuts! Especailly in the 1980's. The '70s, not so much controversy, but still one of the better eras full of Black Sabbath, Zepplin, Judas Priest, Dio. The '80s had tons of awesome acts like GNR and Def Leppard. I still love some of the strange lyrics and songs of the '90s much of which is Stone Temple Pilots and Alice in Chains with a bit of Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's sad to me that rock music isn't pissing enough people off and some of it is just terrible. Sure bands like Velvet Revolver, Audioslave and Red Hot Chili Peppers are great, but we need some new blood in rock! Hopefully more bands like Avenged Sevenfold will come out soon.

I've been listening to country and any type of rock ever since i was born. I don't see why people diss it. I hear a lot of people who diss it but then i rarely hear the people who listen to country dissing rap or anything. I love country music. I think it does have a meaning in it like a lot of rock songs. People I know can relate to the songs and everything while the people I hear listening to rap and liek everything else, they don't or can't usually relate to any of the songs. I can relate to lots of country and rock songs.

Finally! Someone who thinks the same as I do. It aggrevates the crap out of me when people say that. If we ask you what kind of music you like, dont say all kinds. Thats not even possible. You cant know all types of music in the world. And much less like them. Even when people tell you what kinds they like it would be better if they gave an example.\n\nEX: "what kind of music do you like?"\n\n      "I like rock. Bands such as afi and system of a down. they're my fav."\n\n        "That's cool."\n\nThats how I wish people would answer to that question.

bible thumpers dont like music usually and are usually just looking for something to blame for the way the world is, and heavy metal is not satans work, some may sing about satan but only some of the artists do. so thats not a good generalization. i love metal &#92;_/><&#92;_/ my fav bands are children of bodom, dimmu borgir, metallica, ensiferum, and in flames

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it originated with the Rolling Stones as they described their backstage parties for an interview of somesort. The saying has pretty much been adopted by every rock group and wannabe rocker eversince as a way of answering why they're in the music buisness.

I'm with MojoMan - "For there will come amongst you hordes of tiny demon-pigs, who will lower the standards of musicianship for the human race. And they shall be legion, and they shall proclaim their own glory and the joy of their own "music" with straight faces while the world both laughs and weeps at once."\n\nThe list is almost endless, stretching back, as has been said, to the time of the classical composers and virtuosos. In recent years, some names that especially stand out are:\nVanilla 'WTF is he doing up there?" Ice\nMC "Fetch Me A" Hammer\nThe New Kids on the "Chopping" Block\nMilli"on shots of valium" Vanilli\nLindsey "I'm an actress! No, a singer! No, a drunk! No, bullimic! Or..Something" Lohan\nHilary "Who am I and what have you done with my sense of irony?" Duff\nFall Out (of a plane without a parachute) Boy\n\nYou see, the thing is, it used to be simple - musicians wishing to strike a deal with Hell worked on the principle that if Hell gave them the power to be really great musicians, they'd be successful. That's how we got Liszt, and Jimi, and Janis. we've got a long lease out on Keith Richards, but the bugger keeps slipping past us - techinclaly he should have been dead a decade ago. \n\nNowadays though, the would-be hellslaves don't care about the music, just the celebrity. So now Hell gets double usage out of them all - the devil gets their souls, AND gets to drown us with their insipid drivel while they're here. Very efficient, but a nightmare for those of us who want to listen to good music.

Everyone has their taste in music, but that question is sort-of slanted.  It would be like asking if everyone who listens to rap listens to it only for the gold chains and handguns, of people who listen to country do so because they like big hats and belts.  Not everyone who listens to a given genre is going to dress themselves like the musicians they listen to.  I know I don't.

I don't really know. I dont get it. I mainly listen to R&B and Hip Hop. I don't really like rock. Although, there are a few songs I think are cool. But, I don't spend my time posting questions like "Why do people like rock, its stupid". Then you have the ignorant people will swear up and down that #1- rap isn't music, #2- that all they talk about is gangs, drugs and women. Then it ends up turning into some kind of racial topic. Its ridiculous. Not everyone is supposed to like all the same stuff. thats why there is so many different genres out there.

are there people who think like this? yes\n\ndo they know what they are doing?   no\n\nif they are fooling with any kind of "dead" thing, it is probably a demonic spirit taking them for a ride.
