Guys, I heard that Taylor Swift stands for Take All You Like, O Rebel, Satan Will Intercede For Thee.

This was literally in my brain before I opened the thread.

Thank you.

Oh wow - I thought our neighbor when I was a teenager had come up with this one themselves, when they warned my parents I was listening to satanic music.

Not cool that you took it without asking

The satanic panic was real in the 80s

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I remember sneaking away and lying where I was going so I could secretly play Dungeons and Dragons.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

"No, mom, I'm going to a party! With drugs! And alcohol! I swear!"

"You can't fool me, sonny! I know you don't get invited to parties. You're going to play Dragons and Dungeons with that group of nerds you call your friends, aren't you!"

"...yes, mom..."

"Now go to your room and think about what you've done. Pray to the Lord for mercy, and don't come out again until God sends you a sign that he has forgiven you!"

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I'd argue it never truly ended and was the birth of the modern "culture war".

Honestly if you look at the 90s through 2000s people were claiming the same stuff about pokemon and Harry Potter.

[–] protist@retrofed.com 10 points 1 week ago

All of it ties back to Jerry Falwell. The institutions he created continue to do damage to this day

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

There were plenty of people claiming that the Wicked movie was witchcraft. Things have not changed.

There is a band called ACxDC and that stands for Antichrist Demoncore.

They're vegan straight edge satanists.

Even 7 year old me knew it was Alternating Current/Direct Current. Did none of them actually ever work with a kitchen appliance from the 70s?

The satanic panic wasn't an intellectual movement.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 47 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (7 children)

Alternating Current/Direct Current

The only songs they've done even relevant to their name is Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap) and T.N.T. Specifically the lines that say "HIGH VOLTAGE!", "I'm a powerload" and "I'm a livewire"

[–] dwemthy@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No love for Thunderstruck?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thunder is just the sound. If it was Lightningstruck, it'd be included. 😌

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Live Wire would also fall into that category, I would think. explicit mention of live wires setting things on fire

Wow, an anti-christ/devil's child brand sewing machine. Truly evil.

[–] HeHoXa@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Sewing is the devil's work. Repairing clothes denies god-appointed clothing retail owners their divinely appointed profits.

*edit: ... 👉 appointed

This is disrespectful to Satan. I mean the man invented Jazz to corrupt the youth and you think he's wasting his time with dumb-ass boomer blues-rock? What a downgrade, no wonder Satan hates Christians.

Ok first off, AC/DC isn’t just a national treasure, it’s a good damn species treasure. So how fucking dare you.

AC/DC are pretty legendary dude. And you're going to have some Aussies trying to figure out where you live

[–] nitroemdash@lemmy.wtf 25 points 1 week ago (3 children)

AC means Alternating Current, electrical current that periodically reverses direction, and DC means Direct Current, a current that continuously flows in one direction. AC/DC on a socket means it can take both types of power.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

AC/DC on a socket means it can take both types

Go on...

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So see, power intake is a spectrum… some devices are born AC, some DC. Some devices however go both ways. It’s natural. However some organizations like the IEC want to force their narrow world view on everyone.

Musicians. In a time without Wikipedia. Nobody could look up things back then.

Same thing with KISS. Back in elementary school I remember hearing that it stands for Kids In Satan's Society.

[–] Andonyx@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

It was "Knights in Satan's Service" in my youth.

Down here in dullardville they said it meant "After Christ Devil Comes" when I was a kid. I had never heard of them and gave them a try. Funny, that I found out about one of my lifelong favorite bands because useless god bothers made up some stupid shit about them.
