I didn't want to reply to this post originally, but there are too many falsehoods being presented here to ignore.
The chief concern is: the denying of God's sovereignty, and His ability to use what man intends for evil, and turn the outcome for the GOOD. (we see this as a main theme in the story of Joseph, and the story of Pharoah during the Exodus of Egypt). Think on the words of Paul "But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice," Philippians 1:18
By giving Rock and Rap to Satan, you are committing a serious form of blasphemy, by denying God the glory for any good that comes from those styles. Instead, you have given credit to the enemy of God.
Also, you have failed to establish a Biblical standpoint for how a musical style can be owned by the devil. If a style of music can be inherently evil based on it's origins, then Classical is evil because Mozart was a prideful hedonistic adulterer, and Baroque is evil because it was the soundtrack of French and Italian orgies as well as the Spanish Inquisition. In fact, throw away the hymnal, because nearly everything by Watts, Wesley, and Crosby are Christian poems set to SECULAR music such as sea shanties and tavern songs. But this is not the case, because God uses whatever and whoever He chooses for His purpose and for His glory.
What our parents generation had given to the Devil, God has REDEEMED! Nothing can remove the power of the psalms and scripture put to music. BUT... if your conscience tells you that these types of music are unclean, then for YOU they are unclean, and listening to these styles is a sin for you (Romans 14:14) but do not share your opinion so pridefully, or you are heaping sin upon your own head, and on those around you. (Romans 14:22,23)
....Ps.... I am not saying that all modern songs marketed as "christian" are edifying, but that God has been using these styles for His glory. It is foolish to deny any glory to God, especially in a way that gives glory to satan, as you have done.
