What is everyone's stance on music? Is one genra different or better then another one? One style worse then another?

it's the lyrics that matter, or if it's instrumental i reckon it would matter the intent of the music(?). now i don't see how people screaming into a microphone(i like heavy stuff) and you really can't understand them, and talking about stabbing you in the back with their love and something about stuff oozing out of your skull can be Christian. i like stuff like skillet, jonah33, and well i can't think of any other heavy Christian bands at the moment. i'm not bashing rock, cause what could be cooler than rockin' out for God's glory? anywho..the only sounds i don't like is the metal/rock that's really fast paced and the singers(and often musicians) have no talent, and it really just sounds like noise. i also don't like polka too much...everything else i listen to(some more than others).

oh sure... bash my music will you. lol. I'm actually starting to leave the metal scene. but still, you can't say Metal artists are not talented. some are and some aren't. same with other genres.
except pop. fine.. yes, pop artists can be talented too.. i guess.
(artists annoy me.. have to go with the bands)

Heavy Christian Bands?

So DeathMetal, Acid Rock, Rap and other types of music you have no problem with?

Would you be interested in the song where I got these lyrics from?

Blackest magic, leave my soul, give my angels all control
Blackest magic, let me be, keep your black tounge off of me
Blackest magic, drop your chain, may you never speak my name
Blackest magic, watch you cower, bite your tongue and holy power
Why? why? when people witness magic, they'll ignore it and say it never happened
Only thing they'll beleive is whats tragic, god throws it nobody wanna catch it...

No genre of music can be bad from a Christian perspective. But any can have songs/groups who we wouldn't like. I'm sure you could find rap, country, rock, dance and even opera which endorsed un-Christian behaviour. But then you also get Christian rappers and house music...

So besides being christian ... what's the difference between the music? I've heard christian speed metal that is just as graphic and brutal as any thing Slayer released. Same as with rappers.

Some girls are just wierd. Im a freshman in HS, so bear with me u old geezers. I dont mean like cooties and stuff. I mean like, a guy will um.. shall we say..."flirt" with them and they call him a perv. Then they go pop in a petey pablo cd and listen to him say " Do ya want it from tha back with yer head in the pillow, so u can scream as loud as you want?!"

They play games too. girls who play games are not worth the time. no more of this " ill lead him on" or " let's se what he'll do" or " i dare u to ask him out"

my list of most cliche break up lines ( ive used a few)

1) Its not you! You're great! iTs just me.
2) Don't take it personally.
3) I wanna stay friends
4) We weren't meant to be together
5) Its not workin out
6) Maybe we need a break
7) I think we should start seeing other people.
Give me a girl who doesn't play games and isnt a drama queen, and we'll talk

for a freshman in highschool you know what you're talking about .guys or girls who play games aint worth the time. back to arch, i know you was joking. infj, that's the same as my mom...i'm an intj. maybe all n's are weird...anywho...mind's going blank so i'm gonna go check the other topics out now...oh, and i got my comp built...it's running at 2.7something ghz and stable. i overclocked my video by 20% on the ram, 30% on the gpu, which means it's running at 325mhz(gpu) and 400(memory)...it got really hot though so now i gotta get me a better heatsink/fan for it

How do you know it's Christian musoic if it's just as 'evil' - I presume you mean the lyrics not the musical style? I'd not define a group as making Christian music if their songs didn't talk about something to do with Christian life or Jesus...

I think it is partly do with their hearts and motives. A christian band could write a secular song and that wouldn't be bad. But yeh lyrics do play a main part.

NO not the musical style. That dont have nothing but the flow of the song. The lyrical content is what i'm basically getting at. Seen lryics for a christian rapper who raps about his past. He was a gang member and slung coca and killed people. Yet you can pick up any other hard core rap cd and hear the same things. So what's the difference?

Like ICP or another underground artist called Q Strange. Their music may be dark and not for everybody. Yet if you sit and listen to some of their songs. You know what that song is about, yet they sling it a way a lot of people dont like.

If he was saying what he used to do and that it was a bad lifestyle that would be different.
