Christian Rock is generally used as a blanket label for any Christian act that isn't your traditional stylings for the scene like Country or Gospel.
So most people dump everything from Christian Rap, to Christian Metal, to Christian Pop and even Christian Techno under that label.
Christian Metal has its own page, so any write-ups pertaining to that particular subgenre may be cut, right?
And I think it might be better to soft-split the page into the different sub-genres that doesn't have its own page to categorize the examples more neatly, and remove the pointless natter that's arguing about just how "Christian" the artist is or used to be.
Thoughts?
...and that page uses Stryper as it's page image when they're arguably closer to Hard Rock despite common knowadge calling them Metal.
Splitting Musical genres with the Rock (and even Rap and Pop because of arguments where it begins to fusions like Rap-Rock or Pop-Rock instead of just pure Rap and Pop) umbrella is a shitshow because there's always gonna be disagreements about certain genre lines are drawn.

^^^ I've never heard it used broadly. Christian Rock refers to bands like Creed, Skillet, Red, Thousand Foot Krutch, and some Not Christian Rock bands like Flyleaf.
I don't think the Christian Rock page needs anything beside band titles. Most music genre page are indexes.

Alright. So it's ok if I remove all descriptions from the listed entries right?
What about entries that goes like: "this artist used to do Christian pop/rap/whatever, before becoming mainstream"? Do they get removed outright, or do they still warrant a mention in this page?
Just asking for confirmation, but works listed in Genre pages don't really need context to justify why the work is a part of the genre right?
I'm wondering because the examples listed in Christian Rock is really messy right now, with almost every entry being written in rambling paragraphs that has a lot of indentation issues. I just removed an entry that was listed three times in the page (because with the Wall of Text, I suppose it's harder to see which bands have already been written on the page).
Not to mention, a lot of the artists/bands listed in the page aren't even Rock...
