What’s with the devil horn gesture that two women are making?
They’re either Aggies (Texas A&M fans), or they’re trying to do the rock horns and failing miserably.
I’m inclined to think mostly column A, and a little of column B.
The devil horns are basically a symbol of Satan. The metal folks were doing it for performance reasons (to look badass, kind of similar as many hip hop artists want to look as if they are criminals in gangs). They were also used to stick it to the satanic panic of the 80s where they were labeled as Satan worshippers.
What is that symbol supposed to mean in this context? With a politician? In a cementary? Next to a grave? Of a soldier that is of a Christian faith?
the horns were popularized by Dio. his grandmother used it to ward off the evil eye, as it is traditionally done in several parts of the world. nothing about Satan.
pretty sure that association was popularized by the satanic panic crowd because they were desperate to make whatever connection they could
