Popular culture fans?

The twenty million people who buy a Britney Spears’ record aren’t music fans they’re popular culture fans.- before the music dies

BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES is an unsettling and inspiring look at today’s popular music industry. This documentary is so challenging for me when I examine the trends in worship music. What is happening out front in our churches and services?

The quality and especially musicianship and creativity is now so low. What is happening? I think the critical analysis of this 2006 documentary should be applied to popular worship music. I am saddened by the lack and commercialism and loss of real meaning in worship. We have become fans of popular Christian culture rather than being moved by music. What has happened are people who understand how music can move people are missing.
