it should become mainstream the underground way, it shouldnt be broadcasted on local radio and tv stations. i dont know how that will work, but it should be something like that.

I don't understand why you people have such a strong desire to keep it underground? I really don't see a reason for it...can someone explain?

all right all right.. you may have a point with BA. Iv been there but never been to a rave. (going to try to make it for creamfields) As far as Chile goes, its definitely more popular than north america but every where there's both dance and hip hop rooms, Hip hop rooms have the hotties, dance rooms have the uglies.

Yes but ONLY in north america...I don't know about south america but most definitely not in Europe. It's more of a north american thing unfortunately.

Thats a tough question, the reason I'd like it kept underground is because its cool to know that only a minority like it, and it keeps it exclusive.

the REAL answer for a lot of people is because they're elitist and feel the need to be into something that's relatively "underground". These types of people don't truly love the MUSIC itself, they love the exclusivity of the scene and once the genre goes really mainstream, they'll just look for the next "underground" movement to follow. I personally find that to be pretty lame...

A better reason, one that I agree with to a great extent, is that as soon as something becomes mainstream, a whole shitload of cheeseym low quality filler DJs and bands come on board, ruining the genre as a whole (witness "grunge"...good quality music with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Sound Garden, etc...then it went really maintream and you have a gajillion copycat bands who possess a fraction of the talent, at best).

you just contradicted your self....but I agree with the second reason...local charts in europe dont have a lot of this stuff playing on their radio...sure there is an occasaional artist here and there but not all the time..so the question is, is EDM really mainstream there or is still underground...
