However, as a non-Catholic who attends a Catholic school and hear examples and discussions of "Christian" music straight from the source, it is hard not to draw a line between, say "Christian" rock and "regular" rock, although I know none exists. The Christian-genre-prefix, if you will, is useful to identify no-nonsense and direct Christian lyrics. Just don't look only in Christian-labeled music for those values, you can find them anywhere.
