The archons is a greek translation of a biblical word, (potestates) from the old testament, describing God's 'heavenly hosts'. A certain old religion who has enjoyed a resurgence includes them as the authors of everything that is false in this world (from a metaphysical standpoint) and because of its popularity in modern spiritual internet groups, they have successfully turned the word into something 'bad'. As usually happens in the internet, once a group identifies a word in a metaphysical way, other 'spiritual' groups grab hold of it and make it their own. Like the word 'ego', which in modern 'spiritual' groups means something totally different that what it was coined to mean originally.
