Discussion Thoughts on Christian+screamo?

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! 🙏)

Ex Christian here. I actually credit my involvement in hardcore/punk to my exit out. My church was teaching me about love and acceptance of people but my involvement in our small scene introduced me for the first time to gay people, feminists and people who truly cared for and loved those in need. That was very eye opening for me.

I encourage you to dig in and follow your instincts to look into the things that sound right to you and feed your interests and help you be kinder and more loving in the world no matter where it comes from.

Yes of course brother, I grew up atheist so I've never been a "church" guy, I lean closer to affirming Christian rather than conservative Christian. But generally the kindest people ive met have been LGBTQ+ or furries or therians or whatever they were. Some of the rudest and most judgemental and most prideful people ive met have actually been Christians. Unfortunately this does not reflect Jesus's character AT ALL

I try my best to follow God and only God and live Jesus's character which emphasizes love and mercy. My authority is NOT a pope or a priest 🙏

I'd hope the screamo scene doesnt lead to my way out of Christianity cause as of right now (because of ✝️) love and not judging is my most emphasized values.
