I dunno, you think all the groups/artists we like now will begin
churning out crap because more of the mainstream likes it? Sure there will
be groups that cash in on whatever the latest trend is but even genres that
are trendy now still have some quality artists in them that aren't just
doing it to make a buck. I think it would be the same way with IDM/Ambient
if they were both the top choices of music for the mainstream trendy types.
