It is not the music that is the problem. It is the hearing of it. The Bible tells you, faith comes by hearing (which is activity in your brain) and hearing by the word of God.
So, the activity in your brain is by something that in the beginning was with God and was God and nothing was made that was made without this activity then everything that has been made has been made by the word of God. That includes music.
The activity in your brain operates on a level that is conducive to your understanding. A child has little if no understanding of the activities that go on outside of their immediate environment. That is just the way the brain operates. The child's brain is like a sponge, soaking up everything it can to learn. That is the way the brain operates through the seeing, the hearing, the feeling, the tasting, the touching, but what is the chiefest sense?

What does the Bible say about the instruments of music? It says something about drums and harps and guitars and flutes and trumpets. There is dancing and shouting and praising. I can just see a Paleo drum set. Big rocks and little rocks and they used clubs for drumsticks. A true rock band.
But, that rock band must have been pretty loud marching around the walls of Jericho blasting those trumpets.

You have to start interpreting the Bible differently. There is a purpose for Heavy Metal Acid Rock music. Listening to that stuff will drive anything out of your brain. It'll knock down any wall. You notice that most of the what they call 'metalcore' band don't last very long. And the real purpose behind those bands is, do you remember the activity at the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco, Texas? The Government set up a humongous speakers at the edge of the land blasting the compound with deafening Acid Rock music and other sounds 24 hours a day for the purpose of sleep deprivation and all other types of military activity to get David Koresh to come out of that compound.
And you see what result it had.

you might as well be saying that David and the sons of Korah and Moses and all the others who wrote the Psalms were doing evil, since the "purpose" of most worldly music -- which used the same instrumentation as what was used in the temple services in Jerusalem according to the scripture - was to worship idols and other gods.
you're being ridiculous.
He is not mocked. if anyone has a psalm, let him sing, and glorify God!
why would you try to prevent that? why would you condemn someone who is praising God? this isn't "strange fire" man -- this is spirit and truth.

and so all things are taken captive to the glory of God, who redeems.
yes, even "acid rock"
you're being ridiculous.
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise;
God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

True to an extent. But when one matures in their Christian walk and is totally converted, we are also to strengthen the bretheren. If they do happen to be weaker in faith than we are, it is our duty to serve them and strengthen them the best we are able. Not to talk down to them, judge them, or exert Lordship over them, but to assist them the best we are able.
Not because im not into rock music do i say it's evil, but some ppl have used it for various purposes.
The contemporary spirit is defined not so much by a style as by its demand for immediacy. This is what has happened to us in our mass-media-saturated culture. Anything that fails to give immediate satisfaction, that demands some reflection, is going to be perceived as unsympathetic to the needs of modern man.
