The problem with generic white boy praise music is it's not a genuine expression of culture or even of faith. It's soulless pandering that is designed to be as generic and broadly appealing as possible to make christianity seem cool to the youth. But it doesn't fucking work because it's so boring and substanceless that it means absolutely nothing to anyone who doesn't already believe in the message. I went to a Christian school and I know. There was always at least four atheist or atheist adjecant kids sitting in the back of chapel looking absolutely miserable. It just fails on every level and shouldn't exist. It's basically the same level of mindless disingenuous crap as post-911 country music.

On the other hand, gospel music, traditional hymns and carols? That shit slaps! You can enjoy it even if you aren't religious because it's just objectively good music that wasn't manufactured to pander to as broad a demographic as possible.
