I'm starting to loose sight of what commercialism is?
I thought it was basically when something becomes so popular that money making industries latch on to it and promote it and sell it with out regard to the true nature of the music, but to just make money.
I don't mean to sound harsh and this is purely my opinion... there is nothing anyone can do to stop this unless you licence hard style to be only played by certain DJ's... therefore the audience remains underground.
I'm sad about the situation, but we have to remain strong and stick to our guns. Commercialism will pass, that's if it really does take a look at hard style.
One thing that confuses me is why uplifting trance doesn't get a look in now? I've been buying a lot of that recently cause there's some good stuff about which nobody seems to play, and the commercial world has shit on uplifting many times (i.e Castles In The Sky).
We can only be strong I guess.
