But it’s only been in the last 70 years or so that Christian music entered pop culture. Since then, it’s been a wildly successful sect of popular music that encompasses a growing number of subgenres, from rock to country to hip hop and beyond.I kneel down and get serious about this often precisely understood form of music, starting with the ancient prehistory, its birthing into the modern music world, its growth and expansion, and even reveal some artists you had no idea were doing Christian music. And I decide once and for all if it’s any good.Are you a fan of Christian music? If so, what kind and which artists? Do you like when popular music gets religious? Or would you rather those worlds remain separate? Discuss dammit!BONUS MxTRA VIDEO: Mainstream artists who were actually Christian~~~*intro music credit: REC - "Wake Up High"*mid roll music credit: The Drop - "Outerloper" Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
