I agree 100%. And that is part of the thing that upsets me the most. I
love electro, that's why I'm so damn pissed that a lot (and it's a lot)
of groups and fans don't know who these people are nor care. Plus, they
are being duped. It's hard to make the blanket statements I've been
saying as older groups are getting lumped in. And they certainly weren't
writing songs about their Beverly hills condo (do I need repost that
audio file). The real shit is being re-written, that's what chaps my
ass.
