1) inverted cross
This symbol is closely related to Satanism.

The signal actually has a Christian origin. It is believed that Saint Peter, the first pope of the Catholic Church, was crucified upside down, as he did not think he was worthy of dying in the same way as Jesus Christ. Currently, the adoption of the inverted cross by heavy metal and punk rock bands is linked to the idea of anti-authoritarianism.
