[How influential are demons in hard rock and roll?]
my small experience with demons in music which lasted up until I was 22 years old (then I became a christian), is demons, were taken only a little bit seriously, mostly done for shock value and to look cool in certain cases, and maybe looking for some power and philosophy to get by better in life (or get revenge). many do worship demons, I used to worships some demons in the music scene, but the violence I personally witnessed in life was extremely traumatic also, so music was not the only thing that let demons in. When I lived in Las Vegas years ago, I was exposed to drive-by shootings in school, gang violence and drug dealers, and sexual assault before I was even a teenager, and I started copying those things at home for some reason. parents weren't helpful back then either.
teen years grew worse, there were many suicidal people and even murderous people in my relationships, and cutting and violence. the demons in music I believe contributed a little bit, but it seemed cumulative to the other demons going on, with family violence, neglect, violent tv shows, etc. I am sure many people in prison have demons, from what I've seen I think they unwittingly have them.
