I'd disagree....if he were 'puritanical', he'd probably toss jazz and musicals in as well, since the music here (as well as in other genres) can all be used as 'gateways to vices'. I don't think he would be closed to christian hip hop, pop, r & b or other forms for theological reasons as much as personal preference and content. There are some folks in all of these genres whose songs have good biblical content to them and for those, the puritan would praise God, even if he personally didn't find the genre appealing.
