I do.I don't agree with bump and grind music either. You may want to try some Christian stations to see what music is out there. I don't keep up like I should but I always listen in the car. I haven't listened to secular music since early 80s when Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith first started. Christian music is such a huge blessing to me that I can thank and bless God for. I currently listen to 88.5 - The Family. Look it up and listen to the music or from a local Christian station.
Listening to secular music is the other choice and there are some objectionable songs and serious idol worship. Idol worship does also occur in Christian worship to we need to be careful - it's not about the singer or even the song - It's about Him.
I've also noticed (when I can HEAR the lyrics past the screeching synthesizer-produced "electric guitars" and pounding drums) that the lyrics are ALL ABOUT ME---how I feel, how I've failed, what I need, me me me.........
Whereas the older hymns--and the early contemporary Christian music (70's 80's up to early 90's) was still mostly about the attributes of our God--so much so that it was even CALLED "Praise Music"---now the hymns are almost totally self-focused.
Like the rest of our society....
