It is absolutely a sin and I can't believe it's even a discussion here. I'm thankful to see someone saying what needs to be said!! Christians don't listen worldly music. This isn't negotiable.

Earlier you said secular. Now it's worldly. So is all secular music worldly?

Now there is an "oxymoronic" statement...he can't believe it's even a discussion HERE yet he congratulates the guy that started the discussion???
Now wait. To be technically accurate that is not an oxymoron. It is, however, contradictory. But then again anyone that says the definition of long is uncut yet insists a man with a feet of long hair and trims it is also long doesn't understand what a contradiction is

Ok. So all I have to do to go to hell is listen to secular music? Or, is that cut my hair? Or put on a pair of pants? Or make up! Wearing make up will send me to hell too. Wait, I'm getting confused now. What about sending my kids to a public school? That surely has to send me straight to hell and them too. Going to work has to lead to certain damnation too.
All I have to do to get to heaven is stay holed up in my special little cave in the wilderness somewhere, all alone with only my immediate family (wait..some of them aren't saved..maybe I have to sacrifice those relationships in order to save myself...) and never talk to anyone ever about anything. I can't even go to church because I have to pass by sinners on my way and read advertising that will send me to hell if I even look at it, and surely 90% of the people who attend are going to hell anyhow!
Where's the part about the death and resurrection of Jesus?

And when it comes to "secular", there is so much that is secular. Newspapers. Books. School books. Jobs. Saying secular music is a sin is a pretty broad brush.
I would say it falls into the catagory of "unto me all things are lawful but not all things are expedient"...
See, sins are clearly listed in the bible. They are things we do or works of the flesh

Every sin can not be clearly listed in the bible
Galatians 5:21 (King James Version)
21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
James 4:17 (King James Version)
17Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
