In the essay “The Rock Lexicon” author Chuck Klosterman gives a lesson about the various forms of Rock and Roll along with the modern terms used in popular culture to describe them. Klosterman begins with a discussion he was having with his sister, while driving in a rental car. This discussion began with his sister’s statement, “I don’t read your magazine anymore because all you guys ever write about is emo, and I don’t get it” (Silverman).

Around this time Ozzy was not the only artist that had been writing songs that people believed were telling others to commit suicide. The genre of music that these songs were made in did not stay only in metal either. The music from Elton John, Joe Christ and the Healing Faith, The Nihilistics, and Metallica all had songs that the public hated because of the lyric choice that artist made.
