It's absolutely insane.
How many times am I at a bar and someone says "oh my god, WIT are
playing at...)
Who the fuck are WIT?
There is a lesson to be learned here. If you want your music to be
somewhat popular and you want the artists that make this music to
continue to do so and hopefully make a living off of it it then try and
have some fun with it.
Electroclash has gotten so big because people have fun with it, there's
no reason why idm can't be fun, the music doesn't even have to change,
it's the attitude.
(and maybe the minor chords :-)
