I don't know what this music sounds like, but it can't be any worse than most of the baby boomer "praise music" heard in most megachurches today.

There is a massive change in direction when it comes to todays "young" christian music.

It is leaving the realm of entertainment and moving towards worship.

To see kids with their hands in the air, crying, falling to their knees, singing at full voice with their eyes closed and not giving a rip about what their peers think ..... well...it's what some might call a "far cry" from the music we old fogies had in the 70's and 80's.

Agreed. The 'praise music' is tuneless, monotone, flattened, and without melody. It also seems to to have any rhythmic structure, but stumbles forward, or lurches.

Very boring.

Give me 'Higher Ground' or 'When The Roll is Called Up Yonder' anytime.
