Can I be Goth and Christian? I love the style and music but idk if they’d be accepting…

Anonymous 22w

definitely, yeah like someone else said, you might get flack from both sides over it, but the intersection shouldn’t really surprise anyone who’s familiar with the history of “the gothic” (i.e. as opposed to simply “goth subculture”). there’s a deep-seated connection there with the melodrama & mysticism of catholic aesthetics, not to mention that cross motifs have always been fairly common amongst certain strains of goth fashion

You would be more LESS accepted from both sides

Absolutely, any goth that is intolerant because of a religion isn’t a true goth. It really depends if you enforce your life style upon others or are pro-establishment. Many many goths are left leaning and anti-establishment because the culture is rooted in breaking away from the forced social standard/norms of society. So when you try to enforce societal standards or personal beliefs upon others you will shunned by the goth community.

kinda ya? you’d js have to be a left leaning christian instead of a right winger christian. plus there’s a chance some other goths may not accept you, but for the most part i’ve seen catholic, christian, and even muslim goths accepted within the goth community but like i said it all depends on

I’d stray from acting like you know everything just look cause plenty of goths out there that don’t agree with you imaginary standard

How do you know the difference in a place that is left and a place that is right I know nothing on politics?

imo, i’d stray from calling yourself a goth if you don’t know about the politics. try to educate yourself a lil more before giving yourself that label yk? but ill still try to help you understand a little bit about the politics within alternative communities. right wingers are typically republicans and MAGA. far right wingers are typically fascists, which is why you’ll hear leftists often make fun of MAGA and call them fascist as well. democrats are right wingers, but they just lean more left

there’s also leftists, which is everyone who is more left leaning. socialism, anarchism, and communism are in this category, i myself consider myself to be a socialist, and i don’t believe in capitalist greed nor do i believe in a large amount of government control. so i do lean towards anarchism as well, but i still prefer socialism

…i’m not trying to be mean i’m just saying since goth is very political, calling yourself a goth without knowing about the politics is a bad idea

It isn’t about your personal beliefs, but rather how you enact upon them.

??? why are you being so aggressive with me, i never said “oh you 100% always have to agree with the politics” i just said you probably shouldn’t call yourself a goth without knowing the politics simply because it’s not a good idea.

like i’m sorry if i came off as aggressive or something but i promise i never meant it that way, i was trying to be and sound as kind as possible when telling you about the politics, i only wanted to educate, not argue
