I dunno...i got slagged for liking the Roni Size show already. Here's
my own personal experience.
A couple years ago, i decided that being narrow minded and "purist"
about music was not the way to go. Had i not had this sudden insight,
i would never have found enjoyment in electronic music, since I used
to be a "guitar junky". More and more, i find stuff that i like that
i would never have liked a year or two ago, and some of it is
commercial(thus, i get slagged by the purists and undergroundists)
and even more of it is "underground"(i get slagged by the people who
always say "what the hell is this? sounds like noise/crap/random
beats/my grandmother farting/etc...").
All i can say is this: open your mind...enjoy the music for what it
is, not for what you think it might represent, be it commercialism,
anti-commercialism, or just some clique or scene. You'll get FAR more
enjoyment out of music that way...i know i have much more material to
choose from now!
P.S. this wasn't a flame...only my own musical opinion.
