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"

My first thought about TNT is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4...
Live Wire would also fall into that category, I would think. explicit mention of live wires setting things on fire
I thought it just meant bisexual.
Same thing with KISS. Back in elementary school I remember hearing that it stands for Kids In Satan's Society.
That hat looks so photoshopped on
Guys, I heard that Taylor Swift stands for Take All You Like, O Rebel, Satan Will Intercede For Thee.
This is great, I can't wait to tell this to people in person
That would be so much cooler though.
New album title incoming.

This was literally in my brain before I opened the thread.
Thank you.
I was just thinking about this factoid the other day.
More evidence of the secret brain chip that must have been implanted one day while I was drunk...
Fun fact, factoid actually means something that sounds true but isn't.
Ah fuck, TIL
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.
The satanic panic was real in the 80s
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.
There were plenty of people claiming that the Wicked movie was witchcraft. Things have not changed.
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!"
Not cool that you took it without asking
Nothing in the universe is faster than the evangelical misinformation hate and fear pipeline
AC means Alternating Current, electrical current that periodically reverses direction, and DC means Direct Current, a current that continuously flows in one direction. AC/DC on a socket means it can take both types of power.
AC/DC on a socket means it can take both types
Go on...
So see, power intake is a spectrum… some devices are born AC, some DC. Some devices however go both ways. It’s natural. However some organizations like the IEC want to force their narrow world view on everyone.
DC is just AC with f=0.
Don’t quote your religious dogma to me!
Musicians. In a time without Wikipedia. Nobody could look up things back then.
Encyclopedias existed.
Not everybody had a CD drive in his PC.
Books. Like paper.
Take that woke nonsense back to Europe with you: we all know there is only one way: they do not “take both”. /s
Wow, an anti-christ/devil's child brand sewing machine. Truly evil.
Sewing is the devil's work. Repairing clothes denies god-appointed clothing retail owners their divinely appointed profits.
*edit: ... 👉 appointed
This is disrespectful to Satan. I mean the man invented Jazz to corrupt the youth and you think he's wasting his time with dumb-ass boomer blues-rock? What a downgrade, no wonder Satan hates Christians.
AC/DC are pretty legendary dude. And you're going to have some Aussies trying to figure out where you live
Ok first off, AC/DC isn’t just a national treasure, it’s a good damn species treasure. So how fucking dare you.
It was also slang for bisexual, though not sure if that preceded or came after the band.
High Voltage
Powerage
Flick of the Switch
Power Up
Designed in Canada, Made in China
Does Peter Thiel know about this?
The anti christ devils child goes deeper than I thought.
Nowadays you can look up things on the web before naming them. Well, you could. Many still don't.
Fun story: I once (seriously) tried to start a 3d printing company called bad dragon. After getting cards and launching the etsy store i discovered that name was taken. Always Google first.
