EXCELLENT breakdown of it. I actually used to be in the CCM industry in the 90s, so I can say you're spot on about all of this. Hell, I knew Skillet before they went techno.

I think the breakdown of the music industry machine in terms of labels and distribution is probably the best thing that could have happened to a lot of artists, because now they don't have to worry about their Jesus Per Minute quotient or agree to do a worship album in order to get signed. They can produce and distribute their own stuff, market it through social media, and still make an impact.

But what actually bothered me was finding out that shortly after I fell out, rock music actually died, industry-wise, and aside from the artists like Skillet now signed to mainstream labels, there's no concerted push to encourage hard music. Honestly, the mid-90s Tooth N Nail revolution was the best thing to happen to CCM and it's a damned shame that the worship trends of the early 00s killed it so quickly and so thoroughly. I appreciated artists in the industrial and emo movements who were willing to talk about taboo subjects in their music and insinuate that maybe we didn't have all the answers.
