When I was in middle school, all the kids identified with one of two distinct groups. You were either a “head banger” or you were a “yo boy or yo girl.” To identify with one group or the other came with a whole list of activities, music, clothing that were associated with each group.
The "bangers" skateboarded, listened to grunge music, wore JNCO jeans and grew their hair long. The "yo boys and yo girls" played basketball, listened to hip hop, wore FUBU, silver chains and an uncomfortable amount of cologne.
It all seems kind of silly to me now looking back – dressing the same, listening to the same music, using the same lingo, and mimicking a pre-determined set of behaviors based on cultural archetypes that we saw on MTV. But this type of thing isn’t confined to just middle school culture – it is one example of how we as humans act when we attach our identity with one cultural group or another.
Republican or Democrat
Millennial or Baby Boomer
Gamer or Sports Fan
Each group defines right belief and right action for its members.
Join us this week as we talk about the distinctives of being a follower of Jesus when we ask the question: How should I dress?
