i had this discussion a while ago. people doing tribal or harder techno were moaning how minimal ruined techno, how these producers are switching in it for money bla bla bla, then i asked, how come you dont produce something else, i mean, tribal techno is so 2005, get over it. and where is the funk and soul in tracks created with few loops we already heard dozens times (half of which is from sample cds anyway)... then i got the answer, well it still sells so its ok...

so wtf, who is ruining what?!
