However, Christian bands turn these normally vapid groups who sing about love and unimportant ideas into music with a cause. For example, True Vibe and Plus One use their boyish good looks to sell albums that praise God in their fulfillment of Matthew 5:16.

Two teen pop princesses in the Christian style of music are Rachael Lampa and Stacie Orrico.

Do we have any naysayers that want to bring up the idea that "no, there just couldn't be a Christian death metal band?" Well, it's high time these people eat crow, as Living Sacrifice and Disciple are totally blowing away that popular misconception.

Still others may believe that dancing is the devil's work. Just try to tell that to Joy Electric, one of the most popular Christian dance acts.

Music that is without a message is just another way that groups of men in power stay in power. Fortunately, some bands fight this with politically charged lyrics. Some groups actually believe they can change the world such as the hippie bands from the 1960s, and, even in a cynical light, Jello Biafra.

There is another faction that knows how corrupt the system may be, and just fight in a futile way against the establishment. If you have the ambition, you can find a band that fights for any belief, however petty it may be.

The radio stations owned by the multinational companies, which grow smaller in number all the time, purvey this putrid pacifier into the open mouth of humanity.

So if I don't believe in God or Jesus, I still have more respect for those who try to bring converts to their faith than to all of the acts that just do it for money or fame. To all Christians, punks, goths and those who actually have not been oppressed by the system and given up: I salute you. Let's join together and take on the multinationals with our ideology of music with a message.
