Christian electronic dance music, also known as CEDM, Christian EDM, Christian dance music, CDM, or Christian electronic music, is a genre of electronic dance music and Christian music. Its musical styles closely mirror non-Christian EDM; however, the CEDM culture's lack of drug use and emphasis on positive lyrics (often focused on Christianity-based principles) distinguish it from non-religious counterparts. EDM.com wrote, "the [CEDM] culture can feel quite welcoming."[1] Many live concerts and events have been held in Christian churches[2][3] in addition to traditional venues such as Lumination,[4] Creation Festival, and LifeLight Music Festival.[5] CEDM has also been incorporated into some Christian worship routines.[6][7][8]
