Is techno evil? Can Christians listen to it?

Does God approve of such music? This type of music usually has no emotion so I cant see how its a bad type of music...

Yes, it is as evil as rock and roll, jazz and polka. Well, maybe not as evil as polka, but still evil.

I think the ones that are evil, are the ones with messages in them such as "techno is better on drugs" ive heard that one before, but the ones with straight up beats i dont think are evil cause it is pure music and no messages but music, and you can feel whatever you want on it, evil or not

If it isn't good don't listen to it. But don't label it evil because it doesn't agree with you.

Rom 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Rom 14:15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

Which polkas have messages? You mean like "In Heaven there is no Beer"?That certainly is an evil one.

I'm a HUGE Trance fan (which has a lot of music with a lot of emotion). I also love Techno. Honestly, a lot of the techno/trance I listen to doesn't even have lyrics. I guess it all comes down to what effect the Techno or any music for that matter has on your life as a Christian. I think a lot of times as Christians we tend strive to find something wrong with things that don't have a Christian "label" on them. Just because something isn't labeled "Christian" does not necessarily make it bad.

I know this thread is old but I saw it and felt i must comment

First of all TRANCE MUSIC...
think about that.. does God want us going into some sort of trance?
Especially one filled with music(satans forte) and is very secular in their mindset more than likely?

And someone showed a Black eye peas video???
Are you guys seriously not aware of all the satanic imagry and references to Aliester Crawley and other demonic spirits false gods and idols (aka eye of hours etc etc) in their videos along with HUNDREDS of others??

You guys should really go check out EX ministrries truth behind Hip Hop and other videos showing you whats up with todays music

I pray God bless you all and you receive this info and find the Truth in Jesus name amen

It depends on the lyrics.
Exactly. People seem to think just because a genre like dubstep or techno is "for druggies" that its sinful. To me if it contains no lyrics how can it be sinful? Theres no message in a lyricless song. Just emotions. Example I have alot of game soundtracks because the music (no lyrics) brings me feelings of joy, wonder...etc. Which in return reminds me of God. I personally love dubstep now.

To say we shouldn't promote something thats used for bad. IN that case get off your computer since its often used for bad. Don't go to walmart. Don't get gas in your car since its owned by companies that can do lots of evil....etc.
