Have you ever listened to Christian rock radio? Many people prefer Christian rock radio for the Christian rock lyrics, whereas other people simply like the quality and sound of Christian rock music. Since the 1990's Christian rock bands have infiltrated the mainstream, such as P.O.D. This only proves that Christian rock hard.

However, the question of the moment is: Are Christian rock bands dubbed "Christian rock bands" because of their music or because of their beliefs? Many Christian rock bands are cross genres which mean that they're not just Christian rock bands, but also Indie rock bands. After all, isn't the name Christian rock band a hybrid of both rock and Christian music?

Many bands have struggled with their identity, either shunning the word Christian from their many associations. For example, Evanescence is a mainstream rock band, however due to their strong Christian beliefs, many have wondered if Evanescence is therefore, a Christian rock band. However, the band replied that although they are Christian in belief, they do not consider themselves a Christian rock band.
