The perception is at least partly a true one, and personally I don't think it's a bad one, either. It helps filter out the kind of people who would be superficial enough to reject music because it had a "geek" image. Fuck creating a glitzy and inviting "cool" aura for the comfort of people who want to use music as a "fashion statement" and join a crowd in fawning over some "star." Those types can and should stay away. The music and the club environment will only be the better for it.

Not wrong. I always wonder what current hip-hop stars think of their predecessors having names like "Grandmaster" and "Grand Wizard". It makes hip-hop sound like a musical Dungeons and Dragons adaptation.
