Satanism with heavy metal, driving them to misinterpret these allusions. In dulling the complexity of heavy metal lyrical references and refusing to consider that lyrics and the themes contained therein could be misinterpreted if taken out of context, people are reinforcing the unjust stereotypes of heavy metal in their own minds.
