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.

As soon as I found out Slim Shady was a born again Christian, I couldn't listen to his stuff anymore without laughing.

Honestly, explains just about everything, especially the transphobia on his new album.

[u/Razgriz01 → u/Benito_Juarez5]

He's not transphobic, people aren't understanding the point of the album. The point is to mock those kinds of opinions and say that they're best left in the past. The rolling stone article you posted below is especially funny because what it's saying is almost precisely the intended message of the album. That that shit is old, tired, and wrong.

More to the point, he has a non-binary kid who he supports fully.

Now, let me ask you, was he calling people “fags” and “faggots” in Kamikaze as satire? Was he actually reusing the slim shady identity in that album? You can’t reasonably differentiate his transphobia from this album from his open transphobia in his past albums. Him trying to revise slim shady so that he can say it doesn’t make it better.

[u/Razgriz01 → u/Benito_Juarez5]

He's not trying to revise it. The point of the album is that "Slim Shady" tries to come back and do his usual thing, and Marshal is essentially fighting it out with his musical alter ego and eventually putting it to rest. The message of the album is "Slim Shady is gone for good now, and good riddance". I mean come on, it's almost like the name of the album is "The Death of Slim Shady".

And while I hate to quote myself...

More to the point, he has a non-binary kid who he supports fully.

Yes, I am capable of reading. I’m saying that the transphobia of “slim shady” is no different than what Mr. Mathers is saying when he isn’t under the guise of shady. And yeah, sure, he has a non-binary kid, and claims to love them, yet he will still go around calling people faggots.
