You can compare EDM to hiphop, even though hiphop is EDM. Back in the early 90's hiphop was mostly underground. Then suddenly, like taking sterioids, it boomed and became more commercial then Nike. The sound changed into this repetative bullshit garbage about money and cars. The big EDM genres are doing the same. It's about money and how many tunes one can put out and how much airtime each one gets. There will always be underground stuff though, for example, ambient. Theres mainstream ambient like Brian Eno, and underground stuff like smRt_5. Both completly different in there own ways, but similar in others.
All music will get commercial eventually, as more people like it, more will buy into it, and in turn, people will want to make profit on it. Hell, next month Sony Music USA could pick up Endre or MK-S fora million bucks each, and they'll turn out to be money hungry pricks. Chances are, that wont happen. But tahts how the music industry works. A genre starts small, IND labels release it. Big labels notice how popular it's getting, sign artists, sign contracts, and the money rolls in.
There will always be artists true to the music, and others who do it for the money.
Theres nobody loosing. It's not becoming less creditable. It's just changing. Everything progresses, it's just how the artists steer the sound and direction it goes, being good or bad.
