Punk fashion and religion
People who sport punk rock clothes are often criticized by religious authorities. Many religious authorities or neo conservatives are of the opinion that the hooded culture practiced by punk rock stars is a part of Satanist culture. But this can be disapproved as many things what the punk rock stars do were earlier practiced by Christian monks during the dark ages of Europe.
Christian monks in the east European region and in the North African provinces used to wear pullover hoodies. These monks wore a black robe and sport pullover hoodies, many people during those times used to think that these monks have some magical powers. However it is the hood that made them look intense and mysterious.
The hood culture is certainly not anti religious, it however predates Christianity and Judaism. Most pagan monks used to wear pullover hoodies, they used to wear mostly during religious ceremony like the fire cremation ceremony celebrated by the Spartans predating Christ. Many ancient monks used to sport punk clothing; the symbolism of tattoo is also not hidden from the intellectuals. The tattooing rituals happened mostly in African provinces and in the ancient Mayan culture.
So whatever these new punk rockers do has nothing to do with Satanist culture, its nothing new or unique, it is a continuation of something that was practiced by ancient religions and cults. Punk rock clothes are today adored by many irrespective of their age. Many youngsters and adults sport punk rock clothes, there are many franchises that make and sell punk clothing.
Punk clothing are unique, they challenge the mainstream fashion industry. They may look gothic but most of them are very wise in criticizing the current establishment. You will
