Christians think it's not okay to listen to hard rock. Could that be from possible violation of the command to be "in the world, but not of it", wherein we take the world's style of music and just replace it with a positive message? Or is it more of an opinion?
Another question related to hard rock: is it alright for women to listen to this genre? Again, this seems to be a matter of opinion to me, but I'm not sure if there's a Biblical reason behind it.
I'm not very good when it comes to putting rock music into genres (there's so many these days!), so my definition of hard rock includes artists like Skillet, Demon Hunter, Disciple, Red, and Flyleaf.
