I think you'd be better off writing a story based on things you know well.  \n\nWhile I'm sure there are some Christian conservative punks, I think you're looking for a culture/values clash.  So why not do it in a realm you're familiar with?   Maybe there are people at your school or in your neighborhood whose values put them in conflict with others... maybe it's the family that doesn't mow its lawn vs. the compulsive Martha Stewart type or something.  Or the guy with the mean dog vs. the children of the neighborhood.\n\nBut writing a story about characters you don't know much about is a recipe for failure.  Stick to what you know.

I don't. In fact, I find it cool. It's totally inspiring that Christian bands are penetrating the mainstream music scene. It's one way of spreading Jesus.

GREEN DAY!!!!!! Ok, now for the "because" part: Punk rock is an awesome music genre and Green Day is one of the founding fathers of it. Ok, maybe not but Green Day gave punk rock its status in the world. From the classics from Nimrod and Dookie to the overly played hits from American Idiot, Green Day excells in their music, period.

Hey buddy, I feel ya 100%. I used to listen to ska of all kinds, from Five Iron to Less than Jake. Even the O.C. Supertones had some great songs. But ska has indeed gone the way of the buffalo. I still listen to the Bosstones and LTJ but if you want Christian Ska specifically, I'm posting a link with a list of current Christian Ska bands. Keep up the skankin!

Well I am kind of an anarchist punk,not totally but I have adopted a lot of the ideas.Skinheads are skinheads,a lot of skinheads are racist,and a lot of the punks are antirasists.\nI also listen to ska music,I just love ska-p for a party.\nYou can say I am a rebel..I guess,I nihilist,I mostly deny religious beliefs.My reasons can also be called political.\nBut I am a bit of a pacifist two,one of my favorite bands nowadays is anti flag,they have great and realistic ideas(yes I know anarchy is just a...dream...but nazism is not realistic either,and it still  happened:))\nP.S:skinheads are violent and they don't like peace,I don't like skinhead ideas...

Gothic culture actually started out as an offshoot of punk culture in the early 80's.  They have the same roots and share a non-conformist attitude and unconventional clothing.  The big difference is the way the two groups deal with the messed up world we live in.  Goths tend to get depressed about it, and often use sarcastic humor or emotional behavior to cope with it.  Punks are more likely to be angry and confrontational about problems.  From this fundamental difference comes the distinct clothing, music, and lifestyles that epitomize the two cultures.

Err... Christian Band?  I have to say my favorite is Phillips Craig and Dean, an "older" Contemp Christian Band.  Personally I have a personal thing against Christian Rock or Christian Rap.  I just dont really see it as worship when you have a guy on stage head banging, covered in long hair and tatoos, holding up the evil fingers and singing "Oh how I love Jesus".  You go to a "Soulstock" and all the kids there (who are usually between 12-16) bouncing around, screaming and shouting, just as high and drunk as they would be at the Metallica concert!  What levels dare we stoop to just to be accepted?!  \nBut what really just grind my gears is how the Christian music scene can put out music they claim as Christian when it really has nothing at all to do with God, Christ or his message.  One particular song I remember inparticular was a song with the lyrics "You are a Godsend" over and over and OVER AGAIN, it was a REALLY cruddy song, talking about an unmarried guy having "relations" with his girl.  I mean I REALLY dont have no SUPER conventions about that particularly but C'MON!!  I mean I go into a Christian Music store and there are "christian" CD's by big name Rap, Rock and Country artists?  It might not be the heavy stuff you'll find in the Metal section, but its still really not any good.  I say be hot or cold, bad or good, heavy or light, dont pussy around somewhere in the middle.

Have I ever seen a punk? I grew up in the 70's! Cut my teeth on Fear, Circle Jerks, DK, & Black Flag. This crap today is anything but punk. Rent the movie "The Decline of the Western Civilization" for great shots of Punks & even greater music.

I'm excited that you want to listen to Christian rock!!  There is a TON out there!  A couple suggestions:\n1-use the search feature of Yahoo! Answers- lots of other people have asked this same question, and you could print out all of those answers.\n2- Call up the biggest church in your area- usually a non-denomination is a good start- that may have a youth center where local Christian bands can play, or maybe they have big names come in every once in awhile.  Some of these have a website that you could periodically check out and maybe catch a concert or two.  \n\nThere are also a lot of Christian radio stations to listen to online that are rock.  That may be a good start to find bands that you like before you buy all of the cds.

I wrote this for a similar question.\n\nWell, Goth is, I guess you could say a subculture somewhat in the way that punk is. The "Goth Rock" scene took off from the Punk Scene the late 70s - early 80s. Goth is associated with specific types of music and dress. A lot of "dark" things influence the Goth culture; horror films, 19th century literature, romanticism is a huge part. Most Goths wear lots of black clothing, makeup for guys and girls, etc. Not all Goths are Atheists as many believe; they have many religious backgrounds, as do Punks. Punk, like I said is also a subculture. It started with the music of "Punk Rock" in the 70s. There are many different types of Punk scenes; they tend to link very closely with the music their scene is related to, in their beliefs, dress, literature, etc. All Punk scenes are really pretty different, though most people think of Street Punks with their Mohawks, boots, and studded leather jackets. No however, people who are not directly associated with Punk or Goth culture lump them together, mainly based on their ignorance of the said culture. I have heard people say..."I am so punk, I buy everything at Hottopic." Well, I highly doubt any true Punk would ever shop at that store. Also, you may have heard the, "If you say you're punk then you aren't." Actually Punks as well as Goths identify them selves as such, they know what they like and believe, and they wish to be associated with this culture.

They are not Christian-based themselves, but a select few of their songs have a Christian belief basis in them. But no...being an avid Nickelback listener myself, I can safely tell you they are NOT Christian-based.

Heartagrams- probably not good.\nWear black- sure, why not.\nRead dark poetry- depends on the content, topic, etc;\nListen to Death Metal- not good, but only because of the lyrics. They do have Christian metal.\nSpiked Jewelry- sure, spikes are spiffy!\nCrucifix as a necklace- sure, why not?\n\nThe Bible says: "All is permissible for me, but not all is helpful. All is permissible for me, but not all builds up. All is permissible for me, but I will not be brought under the power of anything." ~1 Corinthians 6:12, 10:23\n\nWhatever you do, do it in Jesus' name and for the glory of God. How you dress doesn't matter so much. But you have to be careful about what you are representing, and what you put in your head. There is nothing wrong with being a "Christian Goth", so long as you're a Christian first, and a Goth second. That goes for anything and everything else too.\n\nHope this helps, and God bless you!
