I dont think anyone is saying they're staying away from the music just because its trendy. I dont like the music at all and would stay away from it regardless, and personally I think it reveals something about the fundementals of the music that this type of thing happens.

The problem I have with the music is not just that its minimal but the actual sounds in the tunes. I dont feel that I can relate to it at all and it doesnt have enough attitude for me. Yes I know its probably not meant to but irrespective of that I cant jive off it.
