I have been in churches were they didn't want the youth to "excited" but wanted slow and boring - needless to say it was a small youth group- being a christian is and should never be boring- when the Holy Spirit of God is moving things are vibrant and fresh. It is always a good idea to give them Pastors and music that are not only Godly but the teenagers can relate to.
In truth the most efective way I have seen in stiring young hearts is hands on minstery- take them some place were they can reach out and share their faith and they will bloom and blossom for Jesus- as one allows God to move thru himself he is touched, filled and transformed- sometimes you just have to shake off the " pew butt syndrome" and get outside- reached the world as Christ intended and there will be no lack of fire.
