    I’ve had the misfortune of having my ears raped over and over by Christian rock and metal. Can confirm: it’s horrid, empty, fake,…

      Taste is a real talent. Whether it comes to decor, music, apparel, etc it fucking matters. When people have really horrible highlights or facial filler, it matters. Beauty matters. Try living in a beautiful environment and then an ugly one and the ugly one hurts.

      I judge people harshly on this matter and I’d be a much happier person if I didn’t. I feel something close to physical pain when something is ugly.

        There are legitimately good Christians and Christian churches, the problem is they actually practice all the “woke” bits in the new testament. They’re humble, empathetic, and quiet – so they get drown out by the human garbage that also call themselves “Christian”.

        There’s a few Unitarian Universalism churches and their offshoots around my city that piss off the “real” Christians by speaking out against fascism and flying pride flags.

      It’s like if an Multi level marker made pop music.

      I’m also a little irritated that pop music is so formulaic that ai kinda nails the imitation.

      Catchy but stupid.

      …And not the fun kind of stupid either.

      One of the extremely few exceptions is Extol.

      That chorus riff is unreal. Killer riffs and drumming all around.

        Well yes, but they are THE exception. And by a long shot at that.

        There are a few others that are worth mentioning.

        But guess what=> the Christians usually don’t go for those because it’s too weird or it doesn’t mention Jesus overtly enough (which obviously means it’s a ploy by Satan).
