I hate when baby boomers try and patronize my generation with "cool" and "hip" music. It just makes these people look like idiots.

You might find interesting: Teenagers and Church Music: What Do They Really Think, a study (I think by the Lutherans) showing that most teens prefer music in church to be "church-like" (i.e. not pandering to be hip). Most teens thought that the most appropriate church music included:

* choral music, not instrumental

* sung by a group of singers rather than a soloist

* characterized by a simple musical texture and understandable text.

"Musical examples reminiscent of popular styles (rock, jazz, country) were overwhelmingly rejected as church music. The example rated most appropriate was a male choir singing a four-part version of Psalm 98 (The Lutheran Hymnal 667!). The piece considered least appropriate was the loud and rhythmic "Midnight Oil," performed by the Christian rock group Petra."
