before going on new music binges, I find myself sifting through throwback mixes to recognize where i've been, where i am, and where it is i'm going next. as i'm headed into the dark and unknown, both personally and musically, it's always a trip to see how far we've come. some mixes i recently reminisced with were top 40 and classic rock driven. if you listen close enough, you can catch the electro and house subtly dropped in, mostly infused as transitions between their greater radio favorites.
now, a year or two later, the same djs are producing sellable cds featuring the same electro bangers that kids previously recognized as background music. the only problem? they're literally the SAME tracks from two years ago. the assumption is that the mtv kids, just now accepting ghosts n' stuff, won't fare well with the progressive. the bubble already burst, so if you ask me, let's jump in head first. if we really wanna be innovative, why not guide listeners through the ropes course instead of jumping on the merry-go-round with them.
what's the worst that could happen- they don't like it? was being a sub-culture ever so bad in the first place?
