This isn’t satire? That’s what music is like today?
I will never again be insulted for drifting away from keeping up as of about 1987. Didn’t miss anything good.
I guess they used to set fire to the guitar (Hendrix) and now they shoot the audience and set fire to the venue. Times change. Those young people.

Alice Cooper used a guillotine on a plastic baby doll. I went to his concert :)
No, it’s not. It’s a very small subgenre that I, as a huge metal head, did not know existed until now. I’m familiar with the existence of such things from anti-communist metal and symphonic metal, but this is a new one.
Much like what happens to gamers, I urge people not to judge. The vast majority of people performing this stuff aren’t serious believers, because if they were we’d have a lot more violence nationwide. It’s all supposed to be for shock value, which I have to say I’m not generally a fan of. AC/DC did some stuff back in the day for gasps, but now greater extremes are needed in order to achieve the same degree of disgust.
Not much of a surprise that even his bandmates thought something was off about him.
