HIM is my absolute favorite band.
I’ve been listening to them since I was 14, and I’m 21 now.
I used to play their songs in school and I never had anyone complain about the music.
I was in the National Honor Society, in T.A.T.U (Teens against tobacco use), in F.C.C.L.A (Family community and career leaders of America), and I was a student judge at the local courthouse.
HIM’s music is simply good, and it doesn’t corrupt the youth.
If people killed themselves after listening to this music, there was probably more to the situation than we knew, and they would have done it regardless of if they heard HIM’s songs.
That’s my opinion.

The "Join Me in Death" song is not good for everyone. As we observe in the title, that there has a word "join" and "death" so it means that when the person dies they want us to be died also. Joan Hanson Last Blog The World's Most Prestigious Universities

"sui-CD-R"? Very inspired.

So suicide is inappropriate for sixth graders now? I was in sixth grade in 1994-1995, and damn near every day someone donned a "Kurt Cobain 1967-1994" t-shirt. Which I'm pretty sure many of their parents bought/tacitly condoned/look the other way on. And frankly, I never heard much of a suicide motif in either "Join Me in Death" or "Bodies."

@Hiphopopotamus: This reminds me of the time I played 'Closer' at the zoo.

This reminds me of the time I played ‘Smack My Bitch Up’ at couples counseling.

I used to play Testament-The Gathering for my 10YO brother all the time back in the day. It cured him of his debilitating love of Ska and he is now a happy, healthy college freshman.

I played my little sister Aphex Twin's "Come To Daddy" with that great lyric, "I want your soul!" and she turned out alright.

Play them some classical, we know nobody committed suicide in those days!
