Nice! A good douchey comment which presents a no-win conundrum. If I respond, it looks like you played my ego but if I don't respond, I look predictable.

I haven't seen many facts supporting your arguments beyond tales about seeing 808 State. What facts have you cited, exactly? That Ian Van Dahl made shit pop trance around the time dance music was popular in the US, and some unsubstantiated implication that the two are connected? We're both dealing in conjecture. That's the point of this discussion - to discuss the potential impact, positive or negative, of an increase in popularity in dance music. Your basis is that you lived through a dance music boom, my basis is living in a country where dance music is popular. And I've seen 808 State too.
When I raise a potential positive you seem to dismiss it out of hand, whilst admitting you're in no way involved with the current club scene, have no real interest in it anyway and are just assuming it hasn't changed since the 90s. Then you start throwing down paragraphs detailing just how jaded you are. From where I'm sitting it looks exactly like you're not giving the potential increase in underground activity any credence because it has no interest to you. There's too much of that and not enough reasoning behind your claim that a club scene you no longer have any connection to will not change in a positive way. |
You do raise the valid potentials. In an ideal world, I could actually see those things happening. I wish I could do a better job of defining what I think makes the crossover hype so hinky and validating what is now really just a hunch but, as you're intimating, it really is just speculation, at this point.
