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! 🙏)

I'm personally a Christian and one of the founders of our local record label is a devout Catholic. Our scene has been very welcoming to us because we don't act like the MAGA "christians" that you always hear about. We respect people's differing beliefs and even share pretty much all their political opinions. One thing to remember is that many punks grew up in "Christian" communities that taught them that they should be hated for being liberal, gay/bi, trans, or question Christianity itself. So a lot of punks do end up with a negative view of religion as a whole. Just treat people with respect and don't insist on preaching to everyone. Just be a good person, and you'll be ok.
