Christian rock - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian rock is a form of rock music that features lyrics focusing on matters of Christian faith, often with an emphasis on Jesus, typically performed by Christian individuals. The extent to which their lyrics are explicitly Christian varies between bands. Many bands who perform Christian rock have ties to the contemporary Christian music labels, media outlets, and festivals, while other bands are independent.

Christian rock started as "Jesus music" and piano in church but has become a form of modern music that has become more popular. Some Christian rock bands such as Switchfoot and P.O.D. have become popular even with fans who are not Christians. Some Christians do not like the idea of this type of music and think rock in any form is a work of the Devil.

Other bands in this genre include Skillet, Fireflight and Red. There are many more.
