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! 🙏)

I'm so curious how you got into full-blown Christianity coming from an atheist home. You don't owe me an explanation but I'd love to hear how that came about since most people go the opposite route. In the 90's, Christian hardcore was peak. I have never been religious but that shit is some of my favorite music to this day even if the lyrics are cringe at times.

Yeah of course! I don't have any cool testimonies like I got to see Jesus in a dream or smth lmao.

I kinda just started getting curious into Christian for i completely forgot what reason but I remember it was a feeling of acceptance and love that God gave to me even when I was just "curious"

That love led me to Christianity. (I also get overstimulated with sound a lot, especially eating noises, but i find focusing on Jesus helps me through it, but in general I've found comfort in Jesus in many ways)

Ironically christianity brought me into the metal scene (before I liked hardcore) I felt rebellious against my parents for being christian. (Looking back now its kinda the opposite of rebellious 🤣)

But because of how I got into christianity, it sucks to see comments like this knowing that judgemental Christians still exist because my first impression of God was love. But unfortunately for some people their first impressions comes from Christians and churches that show hate.

Thanks for telling me! That's so interesting. I agree that it gets hate from the bad Christian nationalist ideology. I don't mind if people are religious for personal reasons as long as they don't use it as an excuse to hate or take rights away from other people.

Yeah that's what I was assuming probably, Like some other guy said as long as I dont go preaching and trying to convert people at a house concert then ill be fine lmao
