The future of Christian hard rock.

What do you think about the future of the Christian Music?
I'm sure the corona crisis is not good for this part of the music industry.

Is there still a future for the music we love?

The kind we in here mostly like was already fading out. We're becoming relics of a bygone era and Covid is helping speed that up imo.

We have to realize that the styles of music we prefer are just like the styles our parents once loved.  We have become more outdated.  Unless by some twist of fate this music comes back into style with the labels, radio, streaming, and younger bands, we will slowly fade into oblivion.  That is the nature of getting old.  Whether Christian or not, our favorite forms of metal won't always be here.

I think we are lucky to have any bands from the 80's and early 90's recording any new music at all.  I remember back in the 80's my parents (and friends parents) listened to the "oldies" station that played music from the 50's & 60's.  I don't think I could name a single artist from that era that was making new music in the 80's or 90's.  Sure some of them were still doing shows, but it seemed like none of them were recording new music.

I agree with what you all have already said...

Sad but true...

There wasn't much.  The Pointer Sisters come to mind.  They started in the 60s and had that song "Jump For My Love" or something like that.  Also, the Beach Boys came out with the "Kokomo" song.  James Brown had a couple of 80s hits, but that is about it.  Oh, you could argue that Michael Jackson counts, but his 80s work was much different in sound and style than what he did with the Jackson 5.

When you hit the age where elevator music and restaurants play your generation's music, you know you are old.  It also means that your music is fading away.  When you are no longer their target demographic and move into the "senior discount" age, you will start hearing 90s music that way.

There's nothing wrong to listen to the 90's music.

Each decade has his own music.
