this might be so weird so feel free to ignore. but as a nonchristian emo, does your religion combine with your aesthetic at all? i know our fashion can have many christian themes with many people growing up that way, so i was curious if these identities joined sometimes. thank you if you answer đŸ«¶

dont worry, this isn’t a weird question at all and I really appreciate it! To answer your question simply, yes, both technically intentionally and un intentionally. You’re right in saying “I know out fashion can have many christian themes, with many people growing up that way.” Christianity is the most popular religion worldwide, and it’s influence on the modern western world is massive. For years, a lot of the artistic standard was placed in the hands of what we saw that’s was most objectively beautiful to the masses, such as giant cathedrals or the vestimenta of priests which were both designed to seem comforting and greater. A majority of Emos grew up Christian because that was the popular religion, and when we grow up in a way or develop, it’s inherently caused by what we see in the world, what we consume, the gear towards what we like and what we don’t like. Our art, be it through books, movies, fashion, songs, etc, have traits that we are accustomed to seeing and thinking about. You hear the phrase “all art is political” for a reason! When we think about what we want to address with art, we end up in favor of our political, religious and or spiritual, beliefs. It’s the reason why some people think you can’t separate art from the artist, because factors of their problematic views steep into their art. The best example I can give at the moment was how a member of MSI, specifically Jimmy Urine, was exposed and brought to court for disgusting relationships with minors, and yet he had a song expressing desire for a child, which is now viewed differently despite people once holding it as satírical. Even with Kanye West, who went on a tirade of anti semitism, people found his old lyrics that said “I hate these — more than the Nazis” which was once viewed as artistic exaggeration, with weirded outness. I’m getting ahead of myself, but the point is that yes, it does join together whether I intend it to or not! Maybe through me unintentionally listening to flyleaf more than any other band, or through me intentionally wearing more crosses than others. Thank you for your question! This was such a fun answer! :-)
