      I do agree, but staying so neutral (collectively, as listeners) doesn't really help the situation with how dumb the mainstream pop/rap scene is getting, and how easily these people make money from such tracks. Yes even rock artists have made sexually-themed music, but WAP (and a lot of rap, for a long time, for that matter) is just.. blatant, and not creative (which is the opposite of what music is kind of supposed to be).

      Nah this ain't it. Dr. Seuss died in '91 and his wife died in 2018 and they never had kids. That means the estate is run by a company with a board of directors and every decision it makes is financially motivated. While it clearly has the legal right to do so, acting like Seuss or his immediate family made the decision upon personal reflection is pure BS. Regardless of how you feel about it, his work is being censored by others who don't know what he would have wanted and I'm not behind that.

    As a Christian myself, I think Christians spend wayyyy too much time being “morality police” and fear mongers than actually living out what Jesus told us to do in the Bible.
    Why would christians expect a secular culture to adhere to a Christian culture? There’s a lady in my church that was throwing a fit once because I watched the Pixar film “Soul” with my son. Why would I expect a secular film production studio to teach Christian ideologies when it is a SECULAR FILM STUDIO.
    Christians have totally lost the idea behind just loving your neighbor and instead live their lives offended with everything that happens in the world, and they expect people to like Jesus too, when all it seems is that Jesus gets offended with everything.
    I agree with you, Cooper should just go back to making shitty Christian rock. That’s the only thing he’s good at.

In 2019, after Cooper made some disparaging homophobic remarks about his fellow Christian musician Trey Pearson who had come out as gay, I found that I couldn't even stomach the "point-and-laugh" listens any more. Everything about Skillet these days is basically anti-intellectualism 101: Don't think, just brute force your way through life with a sense of entitlement because God is on your side and all opposition is apparently of the Devil. It's basically the Christian rock version of Jock Jams.

      The band is called Skillet because it represents a mixture of different styles in its music, according to the analogy of a frying pan (a skillet), in which a mixture of different ingredients are usually cooked on it. If you don't treat a musical band seriously just because of its name, I'm afraid the problem is with you, not with the band. What would you say, for example, about bands like Puddle of Mudd, Imagine Dragons, Breaking Benjamin and so forth? Is their music bad just because of their names?

      Project 86 (fourth and fifth albums are my favorite, "Safe Haven", "Breakdown in 3/4", "Subject to Change", "From December"...)
      August Burns Red (haven't kept up with all their music but Constellations was a dope album)
      Blindside (I only have the About a Burning Fire and Great Depression albums but they're both great)
      Twothirtyeight (I think they only ever released one album, You Should Be Living, but it's a good one)
      Most of the time those bands aren't overly preachy, or if they do ever get that way they at least tend to approach things in a more poetic or musically interesting way than Skillet ever did. Speaking as someone who grew up with Skillet's music as a gateway into harder rock music, saw them live twice as well, and then fell off hard on both their music and religion in general over 10 years ago. Anyway hope I could point you towards some good jams!

    Cardi B, Hitler, blah blah. What really makes me pause is.. There's a Skillet podcast. THERE'S A SKILLET PODCAST

    Ooooh boy, Skillet. The music for edgy 13-year-old kids, who's being bullied, hating the parents, being a fan of Devil May Cry or Shadow the Hedgehog, poorly drawing OC personas and watching late-2000's and early-2010's AMVs.

      John Cooper is a genius and is wrongly portrayed here.

    As a Christian, Skillet has always been one of my least favorite things. Not musicians, things. Shit music, bad artistry, and quite honestly crap messages.

    Being a Christian, yeah this hot take from skillet man is pretty lame. Totally agree with Anthony here. Nobody is forcing Christians to listen to this. If anything being a Christian is not stapling your views onto everything, it’s just walking your life out the way Christ did and show love to others.

    if your argument consist of Bible verses, I really have to question your critical thinking and points for making an arguments.

      yep, that is a sure thing, he should've brought up simple fucking logic to demonstrate what was wrong with that grammy bullshit

    • @deanrensberger631
      @deanrensberger631 3 года назад +3

      @Pika Nett its not the grammar, its "believing in" giants, ethical slavery, mass infanticide as a moral good, and all the other shit in the bible.

    • @deanrensberger631
      @deanrensberger631 3 года назад

      @Pika Nett yeah, and i believe in the teachings of hitler - to the extent that Germany exists. all the other stuff is just metaphors. (don't take this out of context)

    • @deanrensberger631
      @deanrensberger631 3 года назад

      @Pika Nett So did followers of the bible. (now lets skip the step where we claim those who did horrible acts in the name of god/hitler misinterpreted his word)
