Hard
How has the incorporation of hip-hop and urban contemporary elements into gospel music since the 1990s influenced its reach and reception, particularly among younger audiences?
A
It has alienated older, more traditional gospel music listeners, leading to a decline in overall album sales and concert attendance.
B
It has created a separate and distinct subgenre of 'Christian hip-hop' that operates largely independently from the broader gospel music scene.
C
It has broadened the appeal of gospel music to younger, more diverse audiences, while also sparking debate about the appropriateness of secular musical styles within a sacred context.
D
It has had minimal impact on the gospel music industry, as most younger audiences continue to prefer secular hip-hop and R&B over gospel-infused styles.
