An awesome 80's hair/heavy metal band from L.A., influenced
and musically similar to hard rock/heavy metal band KISS, due to the similar influences of W.A.S.P.'s frontman and later guitarist Blackie Lawless and KISS's lead guitarist and backup vocalist Paul 'Ace' Frehley. Some of the best known songs by W.A.S.P. : I wanna be somebody, my wicked heart, wild child, L.O.V.E. Machine.
W.A.S.P. was speculated to stand for "We Are Satan's People", but was denied by the band.
Band itself stated that it's just W.A.S.P. and it doesn't mean anything.
Some stupid priest who had nothing better to than shit-talk about yet another metal band and accuse them for satanism, put W.A.S.P. under a spotlight because of their unusual stage performance and makeup.

Church always accuses metal bands (WASP, KISS) who are named in an acronym, or have songs whose titles consit either of: heaven, hell, devil, bible, etc, but avoid to notice what the illiterate hip-hop bastards ("artists")produce and what kind of message do they send to people with their "music".

Get the waspedmug. White Anglo-Saxon Papist. Used by former WASPs who have "swum the Tiber" or "Poped," and who then notice that you don't suddenly become Italian when you do so. Some may object to this usage of WASP, but it accords completely with the fact that WASP-hood is not so much an ethnic identity as a cultural one. The late William F. Buckley, Jr., for example, was a quintessential WASP in nearly every respect. The usage also accords with the WASP delight in wordplay. Some use the term WASC, which is an equally effective acronym, but less fun and hence, less WASP.
When I became Catholic, I made all my Catholic friends nervous with my constant use of wacky nicknames and frequent cracking of verbally complex jokes, so I realized I was now a White Anglo-Saxon Papist; once a WASP, always a WASP.
