no, no, no... it does not rob the movement of power... it serves as a
catalyst ... of course those involved with the avant garde (which is what
we mean when we say "IDM" -- avant garde electronic music) will feel
robbed when the mainstream get their grubby hands on our beautiful
creations. because they do not appreciate it for the fact that it is
progress, they appreciate it for the fact that it is what the cool kids
like. but that is what propels the evolution of art. it is a process
that must take place. relish it, and reap the benefits.
