First, what is your definition of commercial electronica??? |

Tiesto. He has been attracting alot of newbees to the scene. People that aren't appreciators of electronica but just want to experience something new and say they saw Tiesto to their friends in class or at work.
This sort of behaviour ruins our experience at parties.
On the other hands i like how its gaining a reputation as an artform. I have spoken to numerous people that are gaining appreciation of it just out of personal interest. They really emphasize how great the atmosphere and people are at most kinds of electronica parties (of course there are you odd sketch-fests). |

It doesn't ruin my experience at parties :conf:
I don't see any difference these days between Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, Armin van Buuren...
You should see the festivals in Europe, electronica has long been mainstream |

Strongly, STRONGLY disagree.
Eliticism kills the scene, acceptance helps it grow. |

The only proulbem that I have is when people come to raves that don't usally and start fights. If they keep the fighting out and just dance, "Great Having Them" |

I understand that, but i'm limiting this to the states and canada.
For too long has music been about the performer. This is a perversion of the art. The medium is the music, NOT the musician. The general population in north american can't comprehend real music appreciation. I know music is not everyones thing, but kids that do like it get sucked into all of this called music. Most rock, rap and R&B thats sole purpose is to feed of the youth and up their perception of reality and living lives that they really want to. Not all of this materialistic, ego-centric BULL.
I'm pretty passionate about this. Its got to ing stop. |

I 100% agree with you. I love that there is a wide spread acceptance, but i don't want these kids to come to the party JUST for Tiesto, like they are seeing their fav singer or something and wear tiesto t-shirts and holding signs and . |

I agree, I don't know where this generalization about 'commercial EDM always being bad thing?' even came from. |
