[@boast1570]

Dang, I used to wear those Hot Topic pants. I bet they'll make a comeback in a few years! As a Contemporary Christian Worship Leader, I agree with the soullessness of a large majority of worship music. Similar to how I feel about most pop-country(copy paste lyrics, rhythms, progressions). There's the occasional banger, but it's become a business with not a lot of authentic poetry about the human condition. I guess the alternate argument is, worship music is written to be repeatable, sing-able, easy to follow. It's like teaching a congregation how to pray but through music, equipping them with tools. 4 chords and the Truth, but.... the occasional shred your face off solo wouldn't hurt. If God created music, he also created Steve Vai. Probably has Tender Surrender on repeat. haha

[@kaladin783]

My issue with Christian music, being a Christian, is the fact that they rely on always having a Christian audience, which gives them an excuse to never have quality. However, I have seen some insane Christian musicians, including a woman whose voice absolutely blew me away.

[@flushfries5633]

That and another problem is they’re all just about the same sound wise.

[@michaelflorczyk1394]

I'm a die-hard Christian, and I will say contemporary Christian rock is one of the most boring styles of music known to man. It's like Coldplay had a kid with Arctic Monkeys and sang about salvation. Dark choir music on the other hand like Lagrime di San Pietro (Tears of Saint Peter), amazing piece.

[@travisspaulding2222]

My issue with it is that many of those bands that are relying on a Christian audience are blatantly ripping off secular music. Especially when it comes to Christian metal. I'm not talking about Stryper or Zao. I'm mostly talking about the Christian bands that do not market themselves outside of Christian music. I used to work with some born again Christians, and they brought in a bunch of the metal bands they like, and these bands were literally lifting riffs from Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Pantera. It's like they know their audience will never hear those bands, mostly because it is for the angsty teens who aren't allowed to listen to those bands. I thought the handbook had something against stealing, lol.

When I was a kid the songs used to be lyric swaps from famous artists from the 70s and 80s and maybe because of that I liked the songs, but nowadays, whenever my friends bring something new that we could play they kinda sound all the same and as you said they kinda feel soulless.

[@SuffyANX]

Growing up in churches, having mixed for churches, and having played bass and guitar in churches quite a lot, I agree with what you said about CCM wholeheartedly. When I was in high school I mixed and controlled lyric slides for a church's youth group band that had more passion and energy between the 3 to 5 of them than every "proper" church band I've ever played with or mixed for combined. They put the work in, they practiced their asses off, and they even entirely re-wrote popular CCM songs so they could play them with the emotion and power you'd expect them to have given the lyrics. It's always stuck out to me even long after giving up on organized religion that a bunch of 14 to 17 year olds playing cowboy chords on their beat up Squiers through 5 watt combo amps are the only ones that ever made me feel like there could be any real, meaningful spiritual aspect to a church.

I loved singing church hymns when I still attended Mass because the words meant something and some of the songs consistently made me cry...but it's hard to find people who care about the instrumentation as well as the lyrics in CCM. Lyrics don't bleed passion into the rest of the creation, the dull, flat creation undermines everything in the lyrics.
