It is 2009. Isn't it about time for the collective dance scene to realize that the minimal genre, that sounds as dull as the word minimal, has not lived up to the promise of resurrecting the underground dance scene or the hopes of the idiots that decided to unleash melody-and-value-free music to the world?
Consciously or not the electro minimal ''berlin sound'' that was marketed as the glorified sound of now by 2-cent self proclamed journalists and payed media whores would face the inevitable, and often unfavorable, comparison with the garage influenced big room NY Progressive House it replaced in record stores.
And so it is practically a given that the energy and emotion of progressive house have not been duplicated here, and in all honestly, probably never will.
The Problem is that it is 09 right now. It has been years since they have been pushing this dull & predictable sound yet no matter how many times these records miserably fail to inspire a viable following, and consequently a fan base that will continue to support the genre, in the face of anemic sales to non existent sales, they keep promoting these records regardless of whether or not they fall upon deaf ears.
The question remains. Will dance music be able to regain the strength it had in the early millennium or will it fade into obscurity after the loss of big distributors sponsors physical record stores and djs that play records not as in tracks or songs but as in those big round black things you put needles on? |

| What you think of as minimal probably isn't minimal anyway since almost no one plays minimal anymore (besides maybe the minus geeks). Those who do, aren't really the big players at the scene currently. |

| I agree with the original poster. I'm completely sick of it and have been avoiding anything that sounds remotely close to it. |
