Christian Goth Music

Isnt christia goth a bit of an oxymoron?
for real......its like when i've seen on teh cover of some teen fashion magazine a few years back, and i quote "the lastest pop/punk fashion trends" and i wanted to throw up. let's not get started into whats punk and not punk discussion, since it's evolved into nothing like original misfits ***** raygun sexpistols type stuff. half way through blink 182's career is when it all took the final plunge into producing some of the crap we hear and see today. no more bands liek NoFx or old Greenday, just crap...

back to the issue.....it is quite the bit of an oxy moron, but so its alot of things today's society. this is just another example of someone with an idea that'll spread and inevitably, sell.

is it an original idea that'll get kids attention and and realte to some outsiders that happen to have faith? yes

-Will thefounder/idea maker of this in the end probly make (maybe big maybe small) some sort (of profit (money from opening a new market as well as influence on certain culture)...Yes

-Is it a total clash of what is/has been goth? not only goth but also to the death metal heads and a good population of headbangers like myself (though i started dressing to fit in a lil better after highschool was over lol). even in the ranks of whats semi goth, there's not usually much happy-go-christ people. Isnt this a total clash with what really devoted goths go for and stand for. Yes

-Will it gain momentum with it's positive outlook on things are rightious ideology?

Probably, seems to have worked out for the christians the ast 2K years....

Do i think it's lame? Very.....

it's a new idea thatll sell....if i wouldnt feel dirty trying to sleep at night haveing disgraced what goth has stood for in my life and for years before that, i would have come up with it myself. then again if i did it, id be taxing and milking this idea to the *****es (much so how happens with christian establishments here and there today)....

can i get an amen?

I remember when all them bands were called "college bands" not punk.

 
why not just call it christian rock.....?

on another note....how many GOTH KIDS are christian?

on ANOTHER NOTE....there are still plenty of true "punk" bands like the *** pistols/nofx/bad religion...and all those guys.

 
Heck...I was"goth" before "goth" was called"goth"...It was called being weird back then.And I dont rmrber there being any christian influence...Quite the opposite...Alistier(Crowley) was more along the norm...not Jesus...kids these days.

 
Goths were a germanic tribe "barbarians" if you will that were wanderers. They became part of rome at some point and Im betting many of them converted to christianity. So it may not be an oxymoron at all. If any true goths were around now they surely would be christian.

Unless of course you are talking about the weird stinky kids in highschool that smelled like piss, had 4 qts of oil in there hair and dressed in all black. Then ya it is probably an oxymoron.

I can think of one band that does fit the title of "Christian Gothic Music", eliminating the concept of it being an oxymoron, even with a casual definition "goth music".
