To be honest, the 'normies' will be the ones buying cd compilations, which will result in more money in the scene for the artists. Remember, if no one buys cds or records, the artists will on day stop making music.

Water it down? Sure, it will or at least some of the more commercial forms of it. But the underground portion of it will never die..

Yes we do want that. You haven't experienced a party unless you have experienced a 10'000+ party.

Trance is commercial in Holland and nothing bad is happening.

I have to agree w/ ari here. I'm glad that EDM is making a comeback despite the fact that it means more comercialism. As he stated the underground will never die. It's teh same w/ hip hop..yeah you have 50 cent making crappy music, but you also have dialated peoples and making brilliant music...and then you have outkast that is able to make unique music w/o following a formula and becoming successful in many circles.

We need a feeder tho. If kids are listening to 103.5 and they hear some trance a say 'wow, what's that?" and they end up going out and looking for it and learning about it, it will support the industry. and even if they do 'buy teh compilations' and attend teh big guv events. that's still hgood. it puts money into the hands of dj's and producers so they can make more music, some of which will be commercial and some of which will not. if we didn't have throngs of z103-type ppl coming to out to see tiesto, he probably would never come here, he'd probablt stay in europe. so...yes some of teh effects of this are bad, but ultimately (IMO) it's good for the scene that we love.
