What you describe is NOT Charismatic music. Charismatic music was mainly praise and worship songs with at least a Biblical theme and usually scripture. It was always done with the whole body worshipping.

It was the most beautiful of all expressions of praise and worship. It was written by Spirit baptized people and sang by them. It pretty much died out by the mid 90's.

What passes (among Apostolics) as Charismatic music is is just contemporary Christian music. Christian pop. Like K LOVE. Its not the same.

Thank you for defining your definition of some of the Junk some are allowing into churches to reach the youth. If we have to conform to the world to reach the youth...are we reaching the youth, or bringing their worldly music into our churches? IMO some of it looks like rock concerts Where is God in all this?

The biggest problem I have is not with the music style, but it's when they try to mix rock "culture" with Christianity.
