Yeah, I have to agree, you can be commercial without being derivative and damaging.

Making stuff that actually has a negative effect, say for dance mousic, by cheapning it, and skewing peoples perspective of it, ie making cheap, thoughtless pop dance, is ugly.

If you make something commercial, in the fact that it gives a wider scope of people enjoyment, yet you still do it with passion and emotion, there is a big difference. You can make a big commercial dance tune, that just explodes (for example) yet isn`t about repeating a format, or pandering to the norm.

not everything that becomes commercial or a hit, is necessarily bad or mindless.

But you can tell the stuff that is made to formula and format, ie Westlife, from the more genuine.
