Christian punk bands that explicitly state their beliefs and use Christian imagery in their lyrics may be considered a part of the contemporary Christian music (CCM) industry and play for a predominantly Christian market. However, given the edginess of punk and some of its sub-genres, such as hardcore punk, many bands have been rejected by the Christian and CCM music scene.

Typically, Christian punk bands perform music influenced by their faith and see their audience as the general public. They may generally avoid specific mention of God or Jesus and may specifically reject the CCM label.
