Music isn’t what it used to be. What was once used for pure shock-value is now the standard in an industry where bad relationships with people and record labels are metaphors for selling one’s soul to diabolical forces. Some songs, like Lil Nas X’s ‘Montero’, exoterically send a message of acceptance while simultaneously broadcasting an esoteric message of depravity. The 2021 Grammys featured hyper sexuality, WAPing and Gregorian chanting, while a performance at Eurovision by Elena Tsagrinou featured her expression of love for El Diablo, mirroring a song by Avril Lavigne about her love for the devil. Lil Nas X not only expressed his love for the devil in Montero, but had intercourse with the serpent in the garden of Eden and the devil on his throne. He topped it off with the release of a special edition satanic shoe with human blood.
