Even 7 year old me knew it was Alternating Current/Direct Current. Did none of them actually ever work with a kitchen appliance from the 70s?

Making crap up to fit one's narrative.
Down here in dullardville they said it meant "After Christ Devil Comes" when I was a kid. I had never heard of them and gave them a try. Funny, that I found out about one of my lifelong favorite bands because useless god bothers made up some stupid shit about them.
There is a band called ACxDC and that stands for Antichrist Demoncore.
They're vegan straight edge satanists.
Sweet! I'll check them out!
wat ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_edge
There's some excellent bands if you're into punk/hardcore or heavy-alt music at all/raging against the machine
always thought it meant bi
Alternating Current/Direct Current
The only songs they've done even relevant to their name is Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap) and T.N.T. Specifically the lines that say "HIGH VOLTAGE!", "I'm a powerload" and "I'm a livewire"
You can't fool me, those are Stand names.
No love for Thunderstruck?
Thunder is just the sound. If it was Lightningstruck, it'd be included. 😌
Oh the only songs, only their most popular and well-known ones

Guys, I heard that Taylor Swift stands for Take All You Like, O Rebel, Satan Will Intercede For Thee.
I like "Will Incentivise For This" but the people who would believe it wouldn't know the meaning of the word
That would be so much cooler though.

This was literally in my brain before I opened the thread.
Thank you.
Same thing with KISS. Back in elementary school I remember hearing that it stands for Kids In Satan's Society.
It was "Knights in Satan's Service" in my youth.
Keep it simple, stupid
moral panics are tragic
MPAT...? Sorry boss I don't think this one works
yeah, inspiration should never be held out as a crutch for madness
I thought it just meant bisexual.
AC and DC, the two sexualities
It's okay by me.
Oh wow - I thought our neighbor when I was a teenager had come up with this one themselves, when they warned my parents I was listening to satanic music.
Not cool that you took it without asking
The satanic panic was real in the 80s
I remember sneaking away and lying where I was going so I could secretly play Dungeons and Dragons.
"No, mom, I'm going to a party! With drugs! And alcohol! I swear!"
"You can't fool me, sonny! I know you don't get invited to parties. You're going to play Dragons and Dungeons with that group of nerds you call your friends, aren't you!"
"...yes, mom..."
"Now go to your room and think about what you've done. Pray to the Lord for mercy, and don't come out again until God sends you a sign that he has forgiven you!"
I'd argue it never truly ended and was the birth of the modern "culture war".
Honestly if you look at the 90s through 2000s people were claiming the same stuff about pokemon and Harry Potter.
