And many assemblies discover that they need at least two different ways to do it. My son is attending a Bible church in Dallas that has a "traditional" (in the Bible church, Baptist, etc., sense) service that sings hymns and the people are heavily dressed in suits and ties, followed by a contemporary service with a band, no organ and little piano, jeans, few suits, etc. Both have the same sermon, but each is tailored to the taste of the group.
Lee and the LRC would assert that there can be only one taste. So either the old folks have to put up with loud music, or the younger ones have to be put to sleep. And any who disagree are shown the door.
