Welcome to Gaia! ::

It seems that this what I want to post here, doesn't have a lot to do with Oomph! but... it's got to be... and please excuse my english, it's hard for me to describe that what I've just seen a few minutes ago +.+

I was taking a look on Animexx' Oomph! Gallerie with a few fanarts. That takes me to a Forum... There was a thread which started with the question "Was findet ihr so toll an Oomph!" or something like that. I wanted to answer why I like them. But it was very very funny to read what other users postet already. It slowly turns into a discussion about satanism (is that the right word for Satanismus? sweatdrop )

The girl which started the thread is still 15 years old and she said she likes Oomph! 'cause their music is demonic and she's listening to those music 'cause she's a satanist. What she said about satanism was making me frightened eek And she told us that she doesn't know a lot about it. But she's a satanist. She's 15 and doesn't know anything... and the people which answered on this thread doesn't know more too. I just thought "omfg..."

What I mean is... I don't like those girls... but what has that to do with Oomph!? Well... I'm really shocked...

stare um...that's something that really makes me mad when people say things like that.

lol...not you...them. I was just emphisizing what you said. 3nodding

OOMPH! is not anit-religious. Dero at least is an atheist, but GieP was not meant to "slam Christianity". It's about how so many people go to church and claim that they follow God, only for appearance's sake and to "reap the rewards" shall we say. If you've heard the English version, Dero sings "So just give us heaven on earth now and forgive us for all our desires." I don't how England is, but that's definitely America's attitude towards Christianity. Just say you follow in God and don't follow through. In a nutshell, the song is bashing those "false believers", not God or the religion of Christianity itself.

There's a whole interview on this somewhere,I'll go find it later. Maybe...I'm such a good guild capitan, aren't I?

A stupid thing that is commenly associated with german music....yes.
Along with the whole it's a nazi thing- or the song "Amerika" by Rammstein is making fun of (for lack of better words) of americans so there for all german music is bad,nazi,or satanistic.

but it also goes to the people who dont understand german, but lack the mental instinct to look up translations for songs that they cannot understand.

That girl is stupid... OOMPH!'s music does not sound "demonic". If she wants demonic german music then she should listen to some Feindflug or some Rammstein (even though for Rammstein their lyrics are no where near being satanic as well, but for those who don't know what they're singing, then Rammstein is probably their best bet rolleyes )

Because in my opinion, OOMPH doesn't sound anywhere close to being demonic. Does she even know what they're singing?

Oh and Amerika is awsome 3nodding Though they're making fun of America, I find it to be hilarious.

But does she actually speak the language regardless of being german? I don't know... There's just something wrong with this picture if you have a german girl who supposedly knows what they're singing yet labels them as "demonic" or "satanists".

Okay, but she still said it was "demonic" and really... I don't see what's demonic about their songs.
As far as Gott ist ein popstar and Der neue Gott, I just see it as them showing their athiest views (as someone already said).
