Although some believe otherwise, rock is a sound and not a lyrical theme. Therefore, Christian rock is made possible. Most good Christian rock addresses real issues like suicide, partying, backstabbing "friends," death, broken families, sex, murder, etc.--but all from a Christian view. It doesn't ignore the world and the themes of secular rock. It just has them with a twist that often points the listener to Jesus. Some say that only secular rock is "real". I say secular rock goes around in circles, while Christian rock points you in the right direction. Do you want to go around in circles, or would you prefer to find meaning in life and accomplish something?
Some Christian rock sounds as good as secular rock or better. And if you think the words "Christian" and "rock" don't belong together, how about the words "Christian punk"?

Music that reaches out to today's mostly younger generation, and enables christians and non-christians to have something in common because they have similar tastes in music. It is labeled rock for its sound, not lyrics (which explains why there is also christian rap, pop, and punk music). It provides an escape from the profane and vulgar lyrics of secular rock music, and emphasizes everyday battles and temptations that we face.
Christian rock bands include Haste the Day, Still Remains, Underoath, Flee the Seen, THOUSAND FOOT KRUTCH, Chasing Victory, Pillar, The Showdown, etc.

1. an oxymoron
2. a diversion genre of music to distract young, restless, and confused Christians from their real religion.

Not for Pansies.
Bad Christian Rock;
P.O.D., Kutless, Skillet, 12 Stones, Thousand Foot Krutch, Jeremy Camp. They're posers.
Awesome Christian Rock= Underoath, Haste the Day, Norma Jean, Relient K, Switchfoot, Blindside, Dead Poetic, Zao, and such.
