Dylan Kerr Exodus 20:3 3“You shall have no other gods before me. 4“You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.”
Digital painting by Mateusz Bratkowski Baptist Goth is the fusion of past and present. From Lil Peep, to St. Agata. From Kurt Cobain, to John the Baptist. Baptist Goth is a rupture to the second commandment (exodus 20:3)A rupture which creates the opening to a non-binary re-imagining of christianity, of religious energy.
Dylan Kerr is dead and what’s left of them now takes the form of Baptist Goth. Baptist Goth is the meeting point of the Idol - The Idol of religious belief, the Idol of popular culture. Baptist Goth is the intersection of the Idol. Both in popular culture and in Religious belief, Idols are born out of martyrdom and death. 22
