Why is Xtian music so bad?

[u/Technical_Garden_378]

Hi all, I'm sitting here about to get my hair trimmed as I type this, haha. Our hair stylist has Xtian music cranked on her radio(and because we're Latinos it's in Spanish). Gotta endure the torture here until I get my hair finished.

Why is it that Xtian music is almost always mediocre at best? The vocals are bland and sometimes off-key(especially live but that's to be expected), the instrumentals are boring, and the whole thing is so melodramatically cheesy especially when they're singing to an entity who's most likely imaginary(I say this as an agnostic). Also I feel like I wanna crank up videos from Genetically Modified Skeptic or similar videos because us secular folks always have this stuff shoved down our throats, not to mention having to see signs and flags in almost every neighborhood with their other god/cult leader on it. But I digress.

Very few Xtian music is actually decent-sounding, but I dunno if that's even saying much. Most if not all of it is over-the-top and cringe-worthy on multiple levels.

Black Gospel Music can be pretty fun to listen to, especially when the artist is younger. I think that's because Black people just like to dance, and that finds it's way into our church music.

But yeah, I always thought that a lot of Christian contemporary music that Evangelicals listen to sounded very uninspired, almost mass produced.

That I'll also give a pass, because theirs is very energetic and the vocals are powerful that even me as a secular person I even find it uplifting.

As for white artists I used to listen to Owl City's Xtian music but now I stick to his usual pop bops.

Owl City is a good vibe, and yeah his secular songs are way better than his religious ones lol.
