Well, It's sad to hear, but about 80% of the american population is trendy, and will go with the trend, no matter what it is.. However, I've gotten a few people in my college into AFX, Jungle, Goa.. These people like music such as Bush, GreenDay, etc. etc. It's good to see that there are people who like music just because they _like_ it and not coz it's the current thing. and a few of these people's reasons for liking AFX isn't because it's hard ;) I can't lie that I want the music to become a little more mainstream, it will be easier to get hands on, and we wouldn't have to worry about shitty things like losing tracks when buying the domestic releases like in some cases or others. also if it's mainstream, MTV would most likely play WAY more IDM videos that they are currently. Just because the music what's mainstream now is crap and the reason people listen to it is mostly only because it's mainstream doesn't mean that we will or should protest the thought of IDM becoming mainstream, a lot of good (detecting possible flame-war) things will come of it, and no bad things can come of it, because the bad things of mainstream music are already here. -- Hillie aka Aurafix / PHD ja DAMONES hillien kotisivu - http://www.clark.net/pub/buh/index.html phase distortion - http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~airou/phd/ easy internet services - http://huizen.dds.nl/~eis Do re mi fa so la ti..
