Shock performance is about provoking strong emotions, often hatred and disgust. If he wanted to please parents, he wouldn't have gone into the entertainment industry.
My parents hate him, and I love him. I won't buy any of his actual CDs because I know my parents would forbid it. I buy them from iTunes instead.
It's a shame that Antichrist Superstar isn't sold on iTunes in Canada.
It's good that parents hate him. That's what he wants. Fear and hatred make him who he is, and he has some incredible music. So, I can't thank those against him enough.
N.W.A
N.W.A was an American hip hop group from Compton, CA. They were among the earliest and most significant popularizers and controversial figures of the gangsta rap subgenre, and are widely considered one of the seminal groups in the history of hip hop music. My parents don't like rap, so they don't know who they are. But if they did, they would probably hate them. I mean, N.W.A literally stands for "N***** With Attitude."

"It's just yelling!" they say.
No, it's not. It's perfect.
My parents think it's just a bunch of satanic growls, but it's death metal, not black metal.
Three 6 Mafia
Three 6 Mafia is an American hip hop group from Memphis, Tennessee, signed to Columbia Records. The group was formed by DJ Paul, Lord Infamous, and Juicy J in 1991 and was at first known as Triple 6 Mafia. I don't think they know, but they probably wouldn't like it.

The band is best known as one of the pioneers of the New Wave of American Alternative Metal during the late 1990s - 2000s and are distinguishable by the band's clothing choices, consisting of black/red jumpsuits and horror inspired... read more I know I sound rude for saying this, but the parents who think that all rock/heavy metal bands are bad influences should go to hell. That's an opinion I will not tolerate. I've been listening to rock and metal my whole life, and nothing bad has ever happened to me. There are some rock/metal bands that are really good role models. In fact, some rock and metal can even prevent suicide and murder because many songs tell people they aren't the only ones feeling angry in the world.
Haha, my parents hate Slipknot. They find the masks overly eerie and can't relate to the music. Sucks to be them though. They're missing out.

The group was founded by bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee, lead vocalist Vince Neil and lead guitarist Mick Mars. My parents don't mind them, and I think my dad likes some of their songs.

The group formed in 2006, with former members including Jayy Von Monroe (2009–2016) and Garrett Ecstasy (2009), all of whom provided vocals... read more My parents would get ticked off if I listened to BOTDF. They would ban me from it, which I would actually be glad about. I want my parents to ban me from this band.
I love them, but my parents hate them with a passion! They only focus on the explicit stuff and don't realize that they actually have songs with a lot of meaning.
Imagine liking these clowns in the first place.

They play autotuned pop music.
One member had a relationship with that pop country singer.
They are just trying to get rich. Some One Directioners and Beliebers are crazy! Teen girls become fangirls who can't stand or understand constructive criticism about One Direction.
Oh yeah, I can see why. But it's just a phase. I hope.
Everyone hates One Direction. So is it really a surprise?
I don't get why so many parents hate them...

I can understand why parents hate them, but seriously, a lot of rock/metal bands get hated for no reason. Slayer is an awesome thrash/djent band.
Always remember to put on your dead skin mask!
Slayer is one of the best thrash metal bands of all time. Parents probably hate them because of their satanic and graphic lyrics and imagery.

Honestly, I don't like them that much either. My mom would freak out if she heard their music.
So many people only listen to the songs about sex, drugs, and partying and ignore the songs that truly have meaning.
I'm wearing a Hollywood Undead shirt right now!
