I don't dislike Christian music per se. What I don't like is the hypocrisy and santimony which seems to be rife in the Christian music scene. Other than that I have heard several Christian artists that were very talented and have even been in bands with people who "would prefer to perform Christian music."
I think the stigma associated with being a listener of Christian music is what causes your friends to claim that they hate it. This attitude usually goes away with age and/or wisdom. Unfortunately, the two aren't mutually inclusive. You don't have to be a Christian to like Christian music. I like early Metallica ... I'm not a metal-head.
