Can you be Goth and Christian?
One of the questions I’ve always wondered is whether Catholics can reasonably aestheticize darker aesthetics within their own wardrobe and life, without it being considered a negative?
I wonder this because you always see the aestheticization of the “perfect” Christian being a woman who wears white and attempts to appear innocent and is into the whole cottagecore thing.
I personally don’t enjoy the aspects of alternative fashion and culture that incorporate paganism and demonic and overall dark influences, but I’m wondering if that’s unavoidable via association if you dress goth or alternative?
Also how are these aesthetics perceived in the context of going to church?
