The term "Christian music" is too confined. The mainstream church has a lot to say about music, and it's a shame. So it's like this --- there's "Church music" --- the music churches use in their services, and if it doesn't mention God's name or the meaning isn't 100% crystal clear, the church usually either shies away from it or condemns it at face value. In my opinion, artists and the songs they write which aren't filled with God, Jesus, holy, spirit, or Lord every other word they sing, are better.
Reason is being that once you find the deeper meaning to a song, its message goes so much more deeper than this shallowness broadcasted in churches across the world. I don't condemn what churches are doing, I just question whether or not they're taking in the whole spectrum of the christian music industry. Because there is truly too much music that gets overlooked because it's "too secular" for the church. What the church needs to realize here is that they are not perfect nor self-righteous. When the leaders go around preaching their stuff that "oh this music is bad and you should be listening to 'christian music' because this 'christian music' isn't 'clean enough' or something you shouldn't be listening to', it frustrates me. Step off your pedestal and come down to the level of everyone else; your music isn't perfect either.
