there have been periods when there was less open religious symbolism as well periods when there was far more
did you see the 'ancient' in my post?

a lot of what is termed change in popular culture is just recycling

btw, when is your assignment due?


this is not for an assignment, just curiosity

we are talking about a period in which religious symbolism is extremely common in mainstream media

these images are crosses, upside down crosses, all-seeing eye, free mason compass, devil horns, baphomet look alikes, 3 fingers with the thumb and pinky "666" symbol

It's because they are religious.

If you listen to my boy Kanye's music it's obvious that he's a very religious person you don't need a music video to tell you that. I'm sure it's the same for most of those artists.


Kanye is amazing.

I'm unsure, this is why I'm trying to gain an overstanding from others perspectives.

Kanye doesn't seem religious to me. He seems arrogant, prideful, egotistical, greedy, and generally the opposite of the average morally upstanding religious exemplary person.


Someone's jealous.




Btw, there have been periods of hundreds of years in classical music in which almost 100% of music was SPECIFICALLY DEVOTED to religion. If anything, music is at an all-time low regarding religious ideas.

Religion is in music because God and religion are the most important things in human life and always have been.

mainstream music makes sad for the masses who eat it up.


Me too.

Lel, post your last.fm.


I don't know what a last.fm is.

Gas House Gang, Vocal Spectrum, FRED, Max Q, OC Times. In terms of "recent" groups, Main Street Quartet and Masterpiece Quartet.

If you want me to get obscure, Redline, Metropolis, and Lunch Break rank up there.

On a scale of 1 to "I make hipsters kill themselves", how mainstream am I?

I feel like there was a brief lull from maybe the 80's to the end of the 90's where religion wasn't quite as mainstream. 60's-70's (and some early 80's) had a lot of stuff questioning religion, but it's still in relation to religion. Of course, I'm no expert in music from those eras so I could be horribly wrong.
