What if I went back in time and played Slipknot in Victorian Era?

What if I took a stereo system and a Slipknot CD and blasted it in the middle of a Victorian London street? How would people react? I know this is a very odd question but it is legitimate, yes? I just want some speculations on to the reactions I would receive from people.

Answer #1

youd be murdered and your CD player stolen

Answer #2

I would assume they would think your were a witch/evil, being able to create satanic sounding music majically comming from a little box remember metal music wasnt inveneted in the 1800’s-early 1900’s and neither was a cd or cd player/boom box, ect so there seeing and hearing something they have never seen before and in all honestly slipknot would sound completely satanic to someone hearing it in those days

Answer #3

Most likely you’d be burned at the stake and your CD player destroyed, however the very few people who liked the sound would probably base a religion around you. The ones who were found out would be burned at the stake as well. A group of these individuals would probably make a pilgrimage away in attempts to escape, they’d found a colony. This colony would either be a success or a failure. They’d either be defeated by the elements and die in the woods and no one would ever know about them, or we might still have a group of metal worshipers to this day.

Basically, it’d be awesome.

Answer #4

I dunno, the victorian era was one of logic and reasoning. like sherlock h. theyd probably try to find a medical reason for your insanity and they wd be really interested in the cd player
