Whatever MTV do, they wont be able to exploit the "underground" dance scene since 99.99% of all the tunes have no videos (unless MTV wants to run test pattern and play the songs) so I don't think we have to worry about that. I'm sure that all the big commercial promoters are looking for something new to destroy now that grunge is totally meaningless, and I wouldn't be suprised if they were looking this way. I don't really think this scene is ever really going to "break" tho... imho -- M.
