In music Rock and roll music has inspired controversy  from its inception. In a 2015 retrospective of Rock and Roll, the New Yorker stated Rock and Roll's "learning curve for performing the stuff is short; the learning curve for appreciating it is nonexistent." As certain musical genres grew in popularity, some transgressive artists used controversy to make a statement, gain attention, or make a profit (or a combination of these). Among certain musical genres and movements, offending modern sensibilities was an integral part of the music. Musical genres that utilize transgressive themes or music include genres such as shock rock, heavy metal, punk rock; horrorcore and its parent genres of hardcore hip hop and gangsta rap, all of which often promote transgressive lyrics and violent themes in various ways; grindcore, black metal, death metal; and various bands within the avant-garde rock or experimental rock genre. Musicians such as Alice Cooper, Slayer, Kiss, N.W.A, Iggy Pop, Misfits, W.A.S.P., GWAR, GG Allin, The Plasmatics, Cannibal Corpse, Tyler, The Creator, Throbbing Gristle, Marilyn Manson, Die Antwoord, Costes, The Mentors, Anal Cunt, The Sex Pistols, Death Grips, The Meatmen, Eminem, Brotha Lynch Hung and the Dead Kennedys used anti-Christian, anti-establishment, satirical lyrics that were generally considered to be evil by those who did not understand them. Some bands used the controversy to increase their popularity. The idea was, if people complained about their music enough and truly hated them, then the band's name and knowledge of their existence would reach the ears of people who would appreciate their music.
