When I started attending my first Pentecostal Church in 1975 they used to mock non Pentecostals and talk how God likes it loud!

Most (if not all) Christian Rock groups could not compete in the secular world so they turn their attention to "Christians" who think its okay.

they are getting exposed to the world not the gospel.

Wow I see that you have not been around many of these people. Sure some of them as tares are just looking to move up into worldy rock. Have you not noticed the very same thing with Southern Gospel?
I went to work at a place years ago. As was my custom I began witnessing about Jesus. My most fierce opposition came from a truck driver who worked there.
The first few weeks he never let up taunting and ridiculing. Then lo and behold what did I find out about him?
HE WAS A SINGER IN A COUNTRY GOSPEL GROUP!
Does that mean I can NEVER enjoy a country gospel group again? Because I know there are false disciples among them?

I watched 30 or 45 minutes and they would just go from one song into another song and have periods of soft worship. I didn't recognize any of the songs, so I'm not sure if they were new songs, or if they were just ad-libbing.

I was turned on to Will Reagan & United Pursuit. I love this album

I noticed he wrote the MAGNIFICENT song called "Break Every Chain". I have heard some really good versions of it. Here is his, the original.

Yeah, I love that song. There are a lot of videos from Will and UP on Youtube from there "Live at Fifth Ave" webcasts.
Most of the Will Reagan/UP music I've heard is pretty soft or acoustic.

Is this drawing our children closer to God, or conforming to the world?

Wow. This is exactly what I was talking about.  If it is not 3 old ladies bangin tambourines singing, then it is secular music.
The Rock style is not "of the world". That is like saying white shoes are "of the world". You can't condemn a style just because it is popular with people not like you.
