By blaming the Baby-Boomers and Hippies for Satanism in rock music Generation X were scapegoating the evil of their own generation onto their predecessors.
They ignored the Satanism perpetrated by their own rock stars and celebrities and projected their evil onto us.
They were then whitewashed by the religious right because of their conservative political views*.
And they blamed gay men for AIDS.
Thus setting up a scapegoat which gave them "moral ease"**.
But the fact remains that Satanism in rock music did not end in 1980.
In fact it got worse.
Not only did the rock stars of the 1980s practise Satanism but violent horror movies in the popular culture and materialism and cupidity became widespread.
Generation X were bad by their own admission.
But they claimed moral purity by scapegoating.
And the Religious Right backed them up.
(* This was created by Ronald Reagan demonizing his political enemies.)
(*"Moral ease" is the term that Hitler used for the effect on the majority of scapegoating the Jews.)
