2.   It is not as melodious as the more established style.
3.   There are so many songs that it is impossible to learn them all.

6.   The lyrics are often worldly, even blasphemous.
7.   It is not needed, since preceding generations have gone to heaven without it.
8.   It monopolizes the Christian’s time and encourages them to stay out late.
