Term used to describe modern Christian rock and some contemporary Christion music and rap bands. Some of these bands wind up being unfairly pigeon-holed because their music is good, even if you disagree with the meaning behind some lyrics. Some of these you might not even know were Christian influenced (Don't believe me, check AllMusic.com). Some of them are obvious.

Such bands include:
