quality thread again.
But, on topic it depends what you mean by underground, cos as a rule anything that is liked by a single person of the 'mainstream' is then hated by the 'underground' people who often aren't nearly as underground as they'd like to think they are. |

About 9 or 10 years ago, Paul van Dyk had massive respect across the board. There wasn't such a mainstream scene as such, so the extremes weren't so far apart anyway.
These days the mainstream might just as well be in the same league as your regular pop star. Those that remain 'underground' are so far apart in what they do, and more importantly WHY they do it, that you could pretty much say that they are part of something entirely different. In that respect I don't think you can really say one DJ can belong in both categories.
I saw it all going wrong when Pringles started giving away holidays to Ibiza on the back of their cans back in 2000. I knew it was all going down the pan then............... |
