With regard to the labels (for good or bad) "Fundamentalist" and "Evangelical" it is true that a little history of the last 150 to 200 years is very helpful.

Briefly, "Evangelicals" of the 18th and 19th centuries were fundamentalists. The word "Fundamentalist" began to be used (after 1925 especially) for those continuing in that expression of doctrine and manner of Christian life, when those calling themselves "evangelicals" began to be ultra-inclusive, and more worldly in their outward expression.

Thanks, i guess it would be safe for me to say then that if i heard music coming from the inside of a church that sounded like a bunch of kids having a pot party it would most likely be evangelicals, would that describe it?
