Christian Rock: The New Punk

I'm not sure if I entirely agree with the logic of it all, but Pitchfork's Zach Baron makes an interesting point about Christian rock (a phrase that makes me shudder, even though I spent years listening to the stuff) in this short track review:

Why is Christian Rock the new punk rock? Because those bands care about what they're selling-- care a lot-- and they make a culture out of it: a weird, fucked, mortal-enemy-to-what-we-hold-dear culture, but there it is.

If pop culture art with Christian ideas succeeds, it may well be because of what Baron is describing.
