I've thought about this topic a lot as well. While I think that everyone feels the same, and our conscience is the same, on the major issues, there are a lot of other areas where we may feel differently and our conscience is different. If God is pushing you away from something, you should listen. While I listen to secular music and watch secular movies, I would not convince someone who only listens to Christian music, etc. to do the same. The truth is, there are not a lot of great Christian movies on par with Hollywood quality. They are usually low budget films and follow a standard script. There is no Christian comedy/sitcoms, for example. Of course, we should be careful about being exposed to bad stuff.

"Should Christians listen to secular music" is what a gardener would call a hardy perennial of a topic. You can count on it to sprout at least once a year, grow fast, put out a lot of flowers, die off, but you know it will be back next year. It will keep coming back now and then until the end of time.
Here's the latest bouquet of secular music flowers:

I have a few posts in that thread, so I will spare y'all repeating them here.

Anything any of us have to say on the topic has almost certainly already been said there. Indeed, what you said in your latest post has been said MANY times there.

Eh... I like the song, but I disagree with the premise. Today's music does have the same soul, if you know where to look.
There's just SO MUCH of today's music, because it's a lot easier to make music today - anybody with a laptop can make a whole hit song, and many do - that you have to look harder to find real music now.

I used that lyric since it went along with the decade of music that me and zeroturbulence were talking about. Seger did that song over a decade before 90s alternative rock and at one time alternative was all I listened to. These days I listen to whatever I'm in the mood for, which is almost always rock from one decade or another...but I do tend to prefer older music than today's music.
All the music we have now, even the Christian music, will likely be too low quality to be in Heaven. I picture the music in Heaven to be very high quality, in perfect tune, etc. Gregorian chants with many instrumentation. A lot of Christian music now have lyrics of suffering, etc. I doubt they will be in Heaven.

I don't remember the scripture where it says listening non-christian music is a sin. Or maybe everything that's non-christian or doesn't glorify God is a sin? For example, washing a car would be a sin because it glorifies the car and not God. Buying clothes simply because they look good on you is a sin because it glorifies you instead of God.
