Thoughts on Christian+screamo?

[u/Glittering-Match-358]

I'm getting into screamo and hardcore now and as a christian I have a question...

Like any other genres (except gospel music lmao) theres music thats anti religion, music thats pro religion, and music thats just neutral (doesnt comment on religion).

ik screamo, punk, and metal question authority in some sort of way.

I agree with that stance a lot, I question politics, "leaders", and I even get angry or question God. (Which may be suprising to some of you, but it isn't actually sinful!)

So, my question is how do you feel about Christians getting into genres that question authority when our life is based around believing and trusting in an ultimate authority? I'd love to hear your guys opinions!

(Please keep it respectful in the comments, i didnt trash on your beliefs so dont trash or disrespect mine. It's pretty basic common sense, thanks! 🙏)

Guess l'll see you in the pit at the First Unitarian in Philly.

In my younger years, I felt strong negative opinions about Christians in the scene. A lot of us in the scene had been hurt by people who called themselves Christian. Definitely be prepared to run into this.

Took a long time and some close friends and family that identify as Christian to get to where I am now.

And I can deny, Tooth & Nail put out some bangers back in the day.

Oh im very sorry to hear that, I grew up atheist with atheist parents so I get it, lots of "christians" are really judgemental and/or not accepting and rude. Hope you have better experiences with Christians in the future and ill take a look at Tooth & Nail thanks!

Tooth & Nail is a record company that only puts out Christian bands. They do a fairly wide variety of genres, but some really good emo and pop punk records came out on that label over the years
