It happens to the best of us. How many people do you know, that currently listen to the more "elite" stuff, whom started off with Tiesto or DJ Sammy or Armin circa 2001 or some Night-At-the-Roxbury type stuff (depending on how old you are). Especially those who didnt have access to a lot else otherwise (read: non-city kids)
Its all about progression. Some people may not like that the scene is getting bigger and more commercial, but what are you gonna do about it? You can bitch and moan.... or move on to/find things that make you happy. I've grown through my old bitterness of the music changing (because, in reality, I cant change shit) and reached out to music, venues, activities that better suited my current needs. |
This.
I don't particularly like it (the growth and change), but the scene certainly isn't going to hold back for me or anyone else. It's a reflection of what people like because lets face it, if no one listened to the new sounds, it would never take off. As Yankee mentioned earlier, its an evolution that happens generation to generation. As long as their is quality stuff I like being produced and places to go see it, I'm happy that I can pick and choose my battles.
You can always hold on to the tracks you loved in the past and try and share that with the new fans. Whether they take to it and can appreciate it... is another story.
