Ya but i dont listen to ur average teen bands either. So your agrument is weak. You are right about one thing, pop is for pagans.. Who r deaf lol

Did you just contradict yourself? Or was that to qualify me?

In any case, that probably need some qualifying. I didn't define pagan. However sex glorifying songs are very likely to be pagan (if pagan is the right term.) Basically; I wouldn't define clean secular music as being pagan. Sadly there is very little of 'clean' pop songs these days.

I dont see how i did contradict myself when I said i dont listen to the average teen bands (pop,rap etc) Ya i am very aware if the sex lurics in pop, one reason why I dislike the genre. Its pointless, wheres the musicanship?

It depends on what kind of secular music. For instance, I am a huge country music fan, and I like a little bit of pop (secular, I LOVE Christian rock, pop, etc.), but if the country has something inappropriate, or much cussing, like, I can handle a little, but I turn it off if it has much. But I think some is OK, as long as it is clean. As far as style though, like with rock, I love bands like Red and Skillet (saw Red Friday night). I think a lot of christian artists are more talented than thesecular ones, and some, just because they are anointed by God. I prefer tobyMac and Red to a lot of secular music.

How? Animals as Leaders against ? Oh wait their is no such bands in the Christian realm. Lets see, yeah its actually the other way around. Just because you may be anointed by G-d doesn't mean your music is good at all. I have my views on this subject already. My blog:

Syckological, Soasin brings back some memories. The band has helped me out to be honest. I love that song too, played it all summer in the music store.

I heard they're doing new music for this quarter and the next :)

I heard a lot of bands are doing new music haha. I will keep an eye out though. Do look for the devil wears prada's stuff. I heard the live version of their new song (which is known as the happiest song on the new record lol) and it will be a darker album. I can't wait!

Pagan's the wrong term. It implies certain beliefs that many non-Christians do not hold.
