058: Christian Goth: The Expose

This month we are going to be diving into the sub-subculture of
the Christian Goth community. Goth itself is a-theistic in that
it makes no positive religious claims, one can ascribe themselves
to any religious system or eschew them altogether without an
impact on their goth identity; so it’s not abnormal to find goths
who are catholic, protestant or any other flavor of Christian
belief. That said, there exists a community of people who
explicitly call themselves Christian Goths, a label which denotes
often (in my experience) conservative evangelical ideals merged
with a goth aesthetic. But how do Christian Goths fit into goth,
and where do their values, norms, and social behaviors diverge
from those of the broader goth culture? My guests and I will be
discussing this, our personal experiences as Christian Goths and
more on this episode!


Our guests this month are Chris from the
band Syspiria and Raksha who can be found
