Joking about "satanic music". It's a religion just like Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Sikhism, et cetera.
But even Christian music always has an actual genre that artist fits into and is first and foremost advertised under because "having Christian themes" isn't a specific enough aspect for people to say "I like Christian music" with any degree of accuracy. Grouping it under such a broad term is essentially saying 'As I Lay Dying' and 'Faith +1' are both one and the same solely because of religious themes despite being entirely different musically...
Nobody categorizes or seeks out music like that, and even those that might will still always gravitate towards certain genres whilst ignoring others, which only really furthers my point.
Yes, 'Faith +1' as in the joke christian rock band from South Park. I don't know the names of any actual christian bands that aren't metal.
I didn't say a genre, I said type.
Genre = type...Even your own poll backs this up, mostly consisting of genre titles.
'Satanic' 'Christian' and 'instrumental' are more just terms to further narrow down the search among genres, the same way 'female vocalist' is a way to narrow down a search rather than a general statement to say you like both 'Arch Enemy' and the 'Veronica's'.
Satanic music is a type of music.
But what exactly? Black metal? Heavy metal? Thrash metal? Rock? Rap? Hip hop? Country? Bittunes? TV jingles? Bird song? Whale song? Redneck blowing in a jug? Chanting around a fire dressed in robes, throwing around goat heads and chanting to a virgin being sacrificed?
Are all those the same thing as long as Satan is involved somehow?
Country music does not go under Satanic...
But what if it has Satanic lyrics, or the guitar is made from a goats skull, or Satan himself is literally playing the song?
I was just going to click the 'satanic music' box and assume jokingly that it was metal, but then I saw you were being serious and don't understand what exactly you're getting at here.
