- Are you going to hell if you like music?
- Is music nothing but sex, drugs and rock’n’roll?
Music has always had the power to evoke strong emotions, and has often strong ties to religious and moral beliefs.
Within both Christianity and Islam, certain forms of music have historical traditions in worship, while others have been discouraged in various ways. Although people sometimes evaluate music strictly on religious grounds, more general criteria might be more common, such as esthetic preferences, appropriateness to a situation, or “do I want my children to listen to this?”.
“Is music sinful?” presents discussions on the relationship of music to religious and moral beliefs – both in the past and in contemporary society. Satanic fiddles, blasphemic drums and devilish Rock ‘n Roll meet heavenly harps and angelic choirs – with historical examples put into relief through the lens of modern Christian and Islamic social media.
The exhibition is situated at Ringve museum in Trondheim, Norway from May 18th – September 25th, 2011, but readers all over the world are invited to give their own comments about “Is music sinful?”: Yes / No / It’s complicated.
New beautiful subject thank you for this information
I think that music is not sinful, but sometimes I must admit that if it incites people to do bad or stupid stuff, it surely isn’t a socially good.
But on the other hand there’s tv that incites people to do the same thing, so it shouldn’t be a big deal… lol
Best Regards,

Music is important to relaxe, forget about daily sorrows and give way to emotions
I agree with Amy that it kind of depends on personal preference.
Thanks, Bill from cowboy millionaire review.
is music sinful? i’m not religious, or anything. but thinking music is any form of sin is just stupid. music will always be part of any person’s life. if music is a sin, then are we not all sinners?
Ik kom uit nederland en hou van muziek.
I den grad noe som helst er “syndig” kan nok musikk være ansett som syndig (tekster, sammenkomster med musikk etc.). Men, som påpekt i en annen kommentar, dersom man ikke er religiøs, og “syndig” dermed blir et diffust begrep, gjør det at om musikk er syndig eller ikke lite relevant for om man kan høre på og lage musikk.
Something can be “sinful” or “saint” just for the point of view of the person who has certain beliefs and points of view.
Titling this exhibition “is music sinful?” buys into the mindframe of religion and sees the world from that point of view, instead of viewing the things as a non-biased observer.

Synd at så mange runebommer vart øydelagt!
“Syndig” er et begrep knyttet til religiøse (kristne) forestillinger. Spørsmålet er derfor bare meningsfullt i den konteksten.
Justin Bieber is sinfull he sings pornographic songs
my rhymes be sinful
I oktogonen i Nidarosdomen finner vi også en mann som spiller sekkepipe – i samme stil som figuren som er i Entréen her på Ringve. Så den selv under en tur i stillaset i vår. Godt mulig at noen tilknyttet Nidarosdomen vet mer om han. Det er i hvert fall ikke bare i Danmark man finner sekkepipen i kirka.
På islamnet.no går en diskusjon om “Opplyste muslimer”. AbduAllah skriver:
Catholic Answers Forums discuss if Rock Music is sinful and Led Zeppelin Satanic
People’s reactions to music can be sinful, music itself is not sinful. Freddie’s face is sinful.
I totally agree, any perception of sinfulness is just an individuals reaction, and reflects on their personal beliefs not on the actual music. There is no such thing as ‘evil’ in the world, its just your interpretation.. evil comes from inside people not from external sources.
On the “baby music” web site, a Concerned Mother asks: “How can I make my daughter stop listening to sinful music?”
Alt som gir glede, er ikke synd!
Hva er synd?
i love msic

what a question!
The Deen Show has a new interview asking if we are “Addicted to Music?”: http://thedeenshow.com/show.php?action=listvideo&sid=63
I en artikkel på NRK Sápmi mener Sara Bæhr Buljo fra Kautokeino at “det er forferdelig at det er så mye offentlig joiking i påsketiden“. Hun advarer at “joiking vil bli dømt av «han der oppe»”.
Noen andre som har meninger om dette?
Do you people have a facebook fan page for ER MUSIKK SYNDIG? | Ringve Museum? I searched for 1 on the internet but could not come across one, I’d really like to become a fan!
Hi, Lenore!
We haven’t a facebook page for this exhibition (yet). It is a good idea and we definitely will consider it! I will let you know what we decide.
Ps. I guess you have noticed that Ringve Museum has a fan page on Facebook? You are very welcome to join!
music is very important in our lives, it is an entry to our soul, our psychie, our heart, may it play forever
Selvsagt!
Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On? Devil’s music for sure!
