How is Christian rock not satanic?

Christian Rock is often scoffed at by traditional rock artists, enthusiasts & critics alike is gaining popularity and stamping its place as a sort after genre for the young generation of head-banging, mosh-pitting gurus! Didn’t Christian rock die a couple of years ago, you ask? Christian rock music is growing faster than ever before with Daily News of Christian Rock Music, new artists & albums streaming across the Internet and pumping the airways continuously every day. So where did this God Rock come from? I mean this is new right?

Christian rock music covers a lot of ground with many different subgenres contained within the rock category. The “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll” explosion in the 1960s certainly made many Christians wary of jumping into the rock scene, but by the early 1970s Christian rock bands began to separate themselves from a demonic image, and instead produced Christian lyrics with rock tones. Today many bands are considered Christian rock artists, some more devoted to the Christian title than others. Although some might not realize this, the band U2 was a catalyst for Christian rock in the 1990s based on their enormous success beginning in the 1980s.

Some Christian groups still damn the rock genre altogether…. but not all nowadays. The Christian rocker community is coming on stronger than ever, with enthusiasts touting that this “devil music” is just poorly labeled from a lack of understanding. The seventh day adventists still consider this music to be devil music, claiming that the rhythms coincide with the beats of the devil and come from primitive ancient rituals worshiping false gods.  Many believe the moshing, stomping, and other random acts that go along with this movement are ill natured and found to degrade the quality of our youth and future generations. We’ll let you decide, as I know my kids don’t do anything satanic as a result of my music preferences.
