**The [[Columbine High School massacre]] takes place in [[Jefferson County, Colorado]], sparking a widespread moral panic that ultimately tries to place the blame on violent media, including music perceived to be violent and/or connected to the goth culture. American rocker [[Marilyn Manson]] receives the brunt of the blame despite evidence that neither of the shooters were fans of his.

[[Christian Contemporary Music]] artists respond to the concept that [[Atheism]] caused the shooting and in particular the [[Cassie Bernall]] urban legend (about a girl who was initially believed to have been shot in the head for answering "yes" when perpetrator Eric Harris asked her if she believed in God) with songs such as "A New Hope" by [[Five Iron Frenzy]], about a band member's sister who had been trapped in the choir room returning to school after the shooting, and "[[This Is Your Time (Michael W.
