Jenny,

Your questions are wonderful and well thought out. They deserve more attention than a simple reply here. I will take some time to consider them carefully and -most importantly- prayerfully. I will answer these in my next post.

Blessings,

Michael

Thanks for this article. I am a Christian with an interest in the gothic culture. Stylistically I can be very different than typical/stereotypical gothic leanings but I really am intrigued by the gothic mindset and intellect. I agree, we need to not only contextualize the truth to all cultures and subcultures.

Questions:

How can I better understand the logic process of the typical gothic mind? I mean in terms of politics, music, art, etc. Usually when I think goth I think of something borderline macabre but I really don’t think this does justice to gothic culture.

Also, how can I relate to goths as a non-goth? I feel like I share a fair amount of similarities but I do major differences with the subculture, one small aspect being a difference in physical dress.

How can I be more informed on what goths are concerned/interested in? This question is especially geared towards life/existential/philosophical questions.

And finally… mixing Christian apologetics with Christian witness with goths….. any suggestions or references? Books, articles, blogs??? ^^

Thanks again for sharing your burden.

The Second Psalm is about God destroying Israel, which all encyclopedias have confirmed, and, “My holy Hill” was the founding of New Jersualem, “sevenfold” (Isa 30.26), to replace Israel.

Hey dude, I don’t see myself as a goth though I do so love the scene with all it’s messed up and broken ways and people. I’m replying, because the words you wrote here that I randomly stumbled upon struck home and because it stands as a warning to people like me. I started a FB group about 2 years ago which turned into more than just a FB group. Yes, there are MANY pitfalls, but as aware as I am of many of them(because I fell into most), I have also realized that one of the biggest mistakes that the alternative scene makes is to focus solely on the negative. Roosevelt said something brilliant about “the man in the arena”. We fall and we screw up often, in serious ways and in ways that affect others(if only it could be limited to ourselves). But so it goes when one tries to do something. We can’t be so scared of doing something wrong that we do nothing. Humility I think is key…though so hard to walk and not just to preach!

I don’t know what I’m here to say other than that your words rang true, so thank you for that.
