@Daojoan thank you for this. This video was insightful and has given me a lot to think about.
I grew up listening to Christian Contemporary Music in the '90s and attending church and enjoyed the worship music of the late 90s and 00's and it really does feel as though it's gotten worse, though I'm sure many would argue that it was never good in the first place 😅
Of course, another part of the problem was a faith deconstruction and reconstruction that resulted in much of what I had enjoyed before being incompatible with my current beliefs. At least jazz and punk purists can still enjoy the jazz and punk that came out before they came along! 😅
Now I'm part of a faith tradition whose music often has carefully vetted theology but lacks the raw emotion and honesty and exuberance of the worship and other music I enjoyed when I was younger.
I gave the Amazon music "Christian rock" auto playlist a listen last night, though, and I realized... A lot of the emotion in that playlist was about feeling shame and regret and guilt and general unworthiness, which... Doesn't really feel like it applies much to me these days. I certainly did feel a lot of that in my early twenties, but I have long since moved away from the notion that I'm this horrible person who deserves only despair and punishment but is saved by the magnificent, glorious grace of God shining into my sinful life, which turns out to be what a lot of popular Christian music is about these days.
Or at least it feels that way.
The GOAT of Christian music, Rich Mullins, died in 1998, of course, which perfectly lines up with your theory lol.
Again, thanks for the video. Very insightful. And if you got this far and didn't stop reading when I said Christian music, thanks for listening.
