actually i dont believe this to be true. ive spent the better part of my professional life working in creative departments at ad agencies and the people that work there are often more 'hip' to this sort of shit. these are the people that decide what music to put in the commercials...of course the client companies have to approve the tracks but thats not so hard when its explained that theyre using some next level shit (or whateveR) to promote their product..which in the case of technology companies and car companies and the such..is right in keeping with what theyre trying to get across. but the client company really has very little to do with what gets chosen. check it out. most of the time all i heard in the creative department was dnb and techno..and not that cheeze ass shit either. you just tend to add what youre listening to because its whats bouncing around in your head. um. i dont really have a point. im just bored. cya. pants. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
