I think Christian Rap or Metal is okay. I think that putting a greater Christian message in a way that non-believers (or even believers who like that kind of music) will hear is a good thing, because it brings the Christian message to where they are.

In the OT God established the elements to used in his worship. In Lev 10:1 Nadab and Abihu were slain for bringing strange fire before the LORD God. The fire God required was in the tabernacle but they foolishly brought fire from without into the presence of God. As with the tabernacle all needed for true worship already resides in the Church and bringing in strange fire (rap, metal, etc) is the equivalent of Nadab and Abihu's sin. Everything God's people adapted from the heathen hurt them.

Music set the mood... Lyrics carry the message...no matter what that message is...Biblically you cannot go beyond that...

You obviously have not listened to Lecrae or Trip Lee. They produce hip-hop music that glorifies God and praises Him. It is certainly not the music of violence or rape.

There are some Christians that hold to a "classic" style of church music. "Rock of ages, cleft for me" or something like that. But, not all Christians enjoy singing hymnals in such a way because it feels forced or generic. Music needs to be truthful and respectful, of course. But the Holy Spirit DOES move in other forms of Christian music. I find for me that most modern contemporary styles exceed others in praise for God. In the end, it's a matter of choice for the individual believer.

It's funny though, a lot of the Psalms are sad, angry, or mournful. Imagine singing Psalm 137 "By the Rivers of Babylon" or Psalm 129 "Many a time they have afflicted me" to happy music... you're right. It doesn't fit. I believe in singing the Word of God from the Bible We're aren't always "happy-pappy" Praise-the-Lord. God is grieved, and happy, and even Jesus wept... I love minor keys especially and how they can be joyous and sad at the same time.
