"they are not counter-culture or friends of Rock," Boomers are almost 100% 'Rock' listeners, I don't know a single one who isn't. And of course - they created it. The 'Satanic Rock' issue was a tiny blip in history, the extreme side of what is frankly an artifact of over conscientiousness and it really wasn't a big deal at all. It was absurd for parents to be concerned about Swing, Jazz and the Beatles (but they were!), but for 'Satanic Rock' it's not completely outrageous. It's actually rational for parents to be concerned that all of a sudden, children are listening music, reading about, and dancing around to people that sing about 'Satan' - who is ostensibly a bad character. That hadn't happened in history, I can imagine it putting some people on edge. It takes a second order awareness to understand that those things were not inherently destructive. It took some time to process. Much like hyper realist and violent video games, where you go around mass killing and cutting people's throats - there was (and is) some fuss around that because it's not unreasonable for people to think that that could be really influential, and desensitize people to violent acts. "they are not counter-culture" Many of them were counter culture, but that's not really the point though ... being 'counter culture' is not synonymous with being moral, better, enlightened or anything really.
