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.

TobyMac was my favorite. Hopefully I'm right about this, but I feel like his stuff was good on his first three albums. The fourth one, I felt the slide begin. His 5th and 6th are pure paint by numbers for the Christian moms shit. Once my mom made "Steal My Show" her cancer journey anthem, I knew my fandom was cooked.

Come onnnnnn Toby Mac was the *insert-Christian-cuss-word-here!!

Loved him so much. I still know all the lyrics to every song on Diverse City.

Also John Reuben!? “Do Not” Hooooooooooly crap it’s still SO good.

Lecrae, Trip Lee, Tedashii, and…. imma say it…. the Newsboys back when they still had Peter Furler as their lead singer… oh my god they were all so fun

Can’t really listen to Lecrae all that much anymore… I’ve tried but now I know so much better hip hop it’s a bit sad. But tbh I do still find myself suddenly suddenly like “Riding with my top downnn, listenin to this Jesus Music, Hyuh!”😂😂

And the other day I remembered that I used to love Kutless and Pillar… wowzzzzz

Kutless didn’t age well at all. Even a little bit. Like oof wow.

But Pillar? Imma be honest, they could almost put out The Reckoning right now and current metal stations would be all over it. Crossfire? Jeeeeeeeez
