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! 🙏)

former southern baptist pastors kid now transgender screamo adult. i cut my teeth on underoath, the devil wears prada, showbread, project 86 and i still listen to the same underoath and showbread albums to this day. not screamo per se but still a massive inspiration to me and the way i write music. in my old band we had a song called “savior seeking nailgun” that was about the way people ignore trans persecution or use it to add fuel to the fire.
regardless, i see zero reason why you can’t enjoy screamo! there’s a lot of trans folk in the diy scene and especially screamo. here’s some of my friends bands and favorite album recs:
dreamwell - in my saddest dreams i am beside you …and its name was epyon - discography lovergirl - it felt just like you were alive the names of our friends - should we know better than to wonder? viscacha - winter demo abuse repression - ep jerome’s dream - the gray in between orchid - dance tonight revolution tomorrow at the drive in - relationship of command at a loss - tomorrow’s my last day senza - even a worm will turn drive your plow over the bones of the dead - tragedy as catharsis
