Well, I can sorta agree with that statement. Only, in my experience, it has less to do with lack of sophistication in the listeners and more to do with DJs who also happen to be promoters that aren't quite as open minded as their audience might be. 6-7 years ago, it wasn't overly hard for me to get a booking where I could play hardcore. Now it's damn near impossible, not so much because I couldn't get a crowd into a set, but because a lot of promoter DJs just don't like it. DJs have the tendency to be anal about what they like and play around my area it seems. Thus, when they pick up the reins that other promoters have dropped, you'll see full nights of the same sound.
