Re: Like Dub-Step, Sick Beats, & Electronica...but wanting to keep it Christian, too?
I believe the key thing in here is this:
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
So if there is disharmony or other such, it better be used in truth (aka use it to describe the wicked or oppression by the world, etc).
Rare are such songs were it happens to be so though.
For instrumental music, if you study music in college, you'll learn of the concept of ethos (different than the ethos, pathos, and logos concepts spoken about in psychology, philosophy, and public speaking...). Ethos, in music, is the emotional impact the sound of music can have upon an individual. Hence, or for example, that music has the power to make one sad, happy, angry, inspired...and this study has long been capitalized upon by the media industry, as well as many speakers.
In any case, the extremes of this are that certain music could even sway an inviduals heart toward good or evil. The spiritual applications being the music has the power to heal or injure, corrupt or refine, etc... To some extent, I believe and have seen the effects of this in my own life, and the lives of others.
