Most people aren't aware of that background so....
The type of people that play rock music are - well just that ordinary people - following the crowd. Their backgrounds are no more scandalous than well...cotton.

Responding to this last comment is going way outside of my purpose here, but I can hardly resist. :wink:

I'm not sure where you got that definition of rock music but I can surmise that you probably don't listen to it that much or you would probably have a more realistic understanding of its nature. But before we get into contemporary culture, let's talk about rock history. For starters, rock and roll did not originate anywhere near the jungle. As I understand it, rock and roll stemmed from a great number musical influences, most notably blues, jazz and country western. While this musical tradition can be traced to the 1920s, it didn't really take off independantly until the 1950s, when the guitar replaced the saxaphone as the melodic lead. As an interesting note, the term "rock(n'roll)" was originally a term used by black gospel singers in the deep American south. This may work against your theory about rock music summoning demons.

Since then, of course, rock has split off into a multitude of different subgenres such as alternative rock, heavy metal, et cetera, each selecting certain pieces of rock music's diverse cultural and musical backdrop as the focus of their particular strain of this incredibly diverse genre.

I'll give you credit for your generalizations regarding those who play rock music - they are at least grounded, I am sure, in some violent subdivisions of the rock tradition, such as death and black metal. I personally find most groups of this extremely "shocking" strain to be more entertaining than frightening - I like to laugh at the silliness of their over-the-top antics. However, you must remember that those subdivisions of rock which you find offensive are only one tiny facet of this enormous genre. I am sure you are aware, for instance, of the large Christian Rock community?

Lastly, I must inquire as to what genre of music is completely clean of these corrupting influences which you are so afraid of. You refer to rock as the "wrong music," so if I may put musical morals in so small a box might I inquire as to the nature of the "right music"? Surely you won't go with the often ignorantly touted "classical music" label - this brief phase of reasonably predictable music was just as representative of the flaws of human character as popular music (we all know about Amadeus Mozart, don't we?) The following Romantic Period was no better (Franz Liszt, anybody?), and I'm sure you wouldn't endorse the rebellion of the Modern or Neo-Modern eras. I hate to enlighten you, but every phase of popular music through recorded history has had its flawed figures.

I can't beleive I'm going to say this but I actually agree with aome of what AHS said. Have you read the lyrics? They are "strange" but they are good, and are another way to lead a "strange" generation to Christ.

Here is one song:

I'm just a loc'd out brother coming straight from S.D.
Just another islander, beaner, wop, minority
Taught to love one another, all races
All types of colors, different skin, different faces
Can you answer my question when I ask you who is right?
Racist come in all forms of colors Black or White
So take what when I say your hatred Sucks
Coming from the H-I-T man swo What's up?
If you ain't down with my white brother,
We ain't down with you
And if you ain't down with my black brother,
Then we ain't down with you
Punk, Punk, Talking that trash
White trash, Black trash, you get a back to back slap
You think I'm soft, then you don't know me
Cause no I don't play that and we're definitely not your Homie
He'll take your pride for a long ride, try and hide
You hate my outside, how bout my inside
It's just me and my boys and we'll hit em up
So bring it on holmes, and we could get em up
Yeah come on y'all, get em up
One for peace, two for love, and three for my G-O-D
Yeah, come on y'all get em up
Get your hands up
One for peace, two for love, and three for my G-O-D
Now that's dread to you head for my final conclusion
Straight up Acts 10 Holmes, It's Peter's vision
So, get up Peter, Kill and Eat
Surely not Lord this meat is unclean
For my Lord makes nothing unclean
Creatures of the World all Beasts and Human Beings
Black or White who is right?
Peace and Love throught my Lord, Jesus Christ!
Then Peter began to speak,
I now realize how dog does not show favortism,
But accepts man from every nation who fear him
And do what is right
Black or White, Who is Right?

Pretty good message I think

The sentiment is good, but I'm not so sure about the method used to put it across. The problem is that 99% of rap is disgusting crud, and if you promote rap as an art form, even in a good way, then you're not really helping anyone. Even the lyrics you quoted offer the impression of a thuggish, ghetto society, and the job of music is to uplift, not bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator. Rock 'n' roll is infinitely less chaotic and more cheerful than rap, death metal, etc.

Just my two cents, take it for what you will.

Incidently, given that we're straying rather far afield from the topic of homeschooling, would anyone mind if I split this off to a thread in "Just for Chat"?

Let's go to Just Chat

Yes, I think we should move this topic. Very interesting discussion so far. But I hope miyu gets a chance to defend herself. Remember, Love One Another.

Ok, here's a separate thread for the topic. If you can think of a better title for the thread, let me know via PM.

Miyu,

Thank you for posting those links, for the work you do, and especially for bringing up this topic.

The responses have clearly defined for me that this "homeschool world forum" is out of touch with the Holy Spirit and full of people who think that Western religious culture is pleasing to God when in fact it has very little reflection of a loving and holy God in it at all.

If this brand of home schooling *is* true home schooling, then home schooling itself is doomed to become more and more culturally irrelevant and will die out on its own soon enough.

May God preserve home schooling freedom for future generations in spite of the haters who claim to own the movement!
