text: what kind of music do christians listen to? i listen to hip hop, crunk music, r&b, gospel, etc. i like all kinds of music, contemparary, i guess my question is where do we as christians draw the line...i'm having a hard time separating myself from the music that i know is stupid and meaningless, but the beat and fun that comes along with it keeps me coming back for more. and some people say it's not going to harm you but that's a lie because it's just like peer pressure, it influences you in ways you weren't influenced before you listen to it. does anybody have any suggestions, or substitutes. or just ways to break away from it. someone holla back! dear sista_girl06,  you're right that music influences us whether we like it or not.   it is indeed wise for christians to stop listening to secular (non-christian) music, or at least to be very careful to not listen to any secular music with questionable lyrics.  if you like particular styles of music, you can find christian bands/ music from that style.  e.g., check out the music at   http://www.air1.com/ http://klove.com/  the links are to the websites of two different christian radio stations, with different styles of christian music. there are many other christian radio stations and many many christian bands with a variety of styles. the odds are that you should be able to find a christian band or bands with music of the style you like.  cordially, john
