The “Satanic Panic” is pretty well-known, but how did we go from religious conservatives and christian nationalists despising rock and heavy metal, to right-wing ideology infiltrating all forms of extreme music?
What changed Dave Mustaine from rebellious anarchist to religious patriot? Was it Alex Jones? What impact does capitalism have on music, particularly Heavy Metal?
Also, in no means am I implying “liberals rightfully own metal”, stfu and watch the video
