Why does all Christen rock sound the same? Before the lyrics even start. You just know that it’s Christen rock. Because my neighbor above me listens to Christen rock occasionally and you can always tell even when you can’t tell what they’re singing.

There’s always one default set of instruments that they use, and they never change from it. There’s always a piano, minimal drum usage, and I can’t remember what else because the only time I hear it is occasionally from someone else’s vehicle where they’re about to blow out the speakers.

For the most part it’s music with an agenda - to proselytize. The agenda takes precedence over the music and songwriting. The boss plays the Christian rock station occasionally and I wouldn’t be able to tell the artists apart. Also their morning show people are scary. They’re Culture warriors who believe that they’re being oppressed when other people get the rights they’ve always had.

I’m a recovering Catholic. I don’t believe in any gods anymore. But I can appreciate good music. Like this is a good Christian song, but it’s because it’s a good song first:

also some more Dustin Kensrue.

10-15 years ago, very much so. Today, not really. I listen to a lot of stuff and CCM is among the most diverse of any genre.

Check out Zach Williams, Crowder, Needtobreathe, Casting Crowns, and Mercy Me for good rock examples — the latter two have been around forever and have a lot of diversity from one album to the next. The others are relatively newer, but all are great musicians and could play in (or write for) just about any band.

If anything, Christian rock finally stopped boring me a couple years ago. I still don’t really like the songs that are clearly written as Megachurch singalongs. You know the ones. Probably the exact ones you’re talking about. Not my cup of tea.

I have a feeling it would suffer the same problem, but it would probably be reggae or something instead of rock.

Dustin Kensrue is a good artist. Period. I haven’t listened to any of his solo stuff, but thrice is pretty high on my list of favorites.
