ViviEven though Rock Music and Christian Rock are the same genre; as in 'rock' the difference is simply in the lyrics. Most Rock music artists may sing about pain, misery, neglect etc. Christian Rock bands sing about how they have witnessed God. Usually Christian Rock is for the praise of God; and to attract more teenagers to enjoy happy music of God. Christian Rock can also bring more pleasure into praising God than normal Christian Music.
Though Rock Music can be just about normal things in life: For Example: Girlfriends, Unforgivingness or just about anything.
There are basically two views on this:
1. Gospel is a genre with a soul/R&B sound originating from "negro spirituals." And Christian music is basically any other music pertaining to Christianity.
2. Generally, the terms can be used interchangeably, but Gospel is used more often for urban & southern styles. And the term Christian music is used for all other styles, but especially for contemporary Music Genres.
Gospel is a sub genre of christian music (so all gospel is christian music but not all christian music is gospel) and gospel tends to be more soulful and usually has a choir and leader with intricate harmonies. It is also mostly popular among black people. If you go to a predominantly black church in the south, you'll most likely hear Gospel Music. Some examples of gospel music: Praise Him in Advance - Marvin Sapp ; The Battle is not Yours - Yolanda Adams ; I Can Only Imagine - Tamela Mann.

What are characteristics of gospel music?
Just because a song is called "Christian Music," does not mean that it is Christian Music. Some of what is called "Christian Music" is actually not glorifying Christ at all. Even if the words may be saying: "All glory to Jesus," the style is often saying: "Look at me; am I ever a cool person!" The message is carried more in the melody, harmony, and rhythm than in the words.
