many people think that the underground scene should be grateful for the commercial end of music, because commercialism has created the underground scene, although if there was no real market for music wouldnt the honest people who currently fall under the underground tag, be doing the same thing creating honest, innovative, quality music, or are we just creating this music just to be diffrent from everbody else and to rebel against commercialism.

in my view the underground scene wouldnt be much different, and the only thing missing would be the underground tag that our music falls under, in my opinion were trying to create innovative music, and the commercial side of music wouldnt change that in hardly any way, or maybe im wrong maybe we make this music to rebel against commercialism, or maybe its a mixture of honesty,innovation, quality, and rebellion, of course i can only speak for myself, but i try for honesty, innovation, quality, i also enjoy aggressive music...does that mean im rebelling against commercialism, as much as i hate commercialism i dont think im purley making music to rebel against it. anyone else?

commercialism has created the underground scene,

I always thought it was the other way around. The underground, no matter what stlye, is always one step ahead of commercailized music. It then takes someone to come along and sell it and make it popular or mainstream thus giving us a popular style or sound. Its proven it doesnt have to be any good. its also highly rigged, how the fuk can some one release something and it go straight in at number one. I just cant see it been run legitimately or fairly. I hate it, its bullshit. I like all kindsa music and I see so much music thats non electronic that doesnt get the slice at the pie it deserves coz you got some cunt sellling a boy/girl band to the younger geration. I dont think its realy a rebellion thing, I think its more common sense. I dont go out and buy music coz its hyped. I think it would be a lot better if it wasnt so driven by greed and hype. Thats what I think, prolly means utter rubbish. :lol:
