"Primitive Baptist ancestors have been called by various names over the ages. The name Primitive Baptist became popular in the early 1800s when the term primitive conveyed the idea of originality (original, authentic, old school) rather than backwardness.... Primitive also conveys the idea of simplicity.  This well describes the Primitive Baptists, whose church services consist of nothing more than preaching, praying, and singing."
