4/5 of those people would still be at those raves even if they had never heard of the top act!! You also have to realize that these guys played "other" peoples music out of Pioneer cdj's for 10 years growing their popularity before doing their own stuff.
You do make a good point that if it sucks so bad, then why I dont I just out do him- I cant argue there and I'm gonna give my best shot( not that our styles are any way similar).
TO ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING THERE IS STILL GOOD MUSIC TODAY, SHOW ME JUST 1 ACT ARTISTICALLY ON PAR WITH FLOYD/ZEP/MARLEY/DOORS/STAN GUETZ ETC ETC............
I bet you cant name one post 1998!!! why? cause people use music to sell other shit now. And if they had organic rib eyes in drive thrus for 2.99, people would never touch a 99 cent cheeseburger again. But theres the catch, in music it all cost the same price to the consumer and is readily available at all times!
I seriously think 2012 is about shutting down such crazy exploitive things, i hope aliens are coming to help(not kill us- but whatever)-but thats a whole different thread.
Like that guy who made the movie about Mcdonalds, that food is designed by scientists to give you massive cravings and change your system into wanting it more/again!! That Justin Bieber shit will stick in your head for 2 weeks, god knows what/how they are doing that- but I would not be surprised if subliminal messaging was used in some way. A parent can not compete with that influence with just simple words!!!!
These days its about making money at any cost, and these rich bastards go home and are not even happy after causing such mental/physical destruction anyways, end up having their kids hate them and take prozac!! Yay, welcome to the Matrix!!!!!
Cheers

Bubba Kron wrote on Sun, 09 January 2011 14:30 | So your saying a Mcdonalds Cheeseburger is wayyy better than a Rib Eye because of sales numbers? Which choice of those two are healthier? One requires huge signs with big Graphics and Marketing Brain washing tactics since our most vulnerable young ages, the latter has been holding it down for thousands of years with no hype necissary.
I do realize that techno DJ's get big live payments because they are providing a service for a Massive dance party, but that does not mean those people would not choose that stuff if they REALLY had a choice!!!

no, im talking about sales numbers being used as a measure of success. that doesn't mean its better, it means it's successful because a large number of people like it.
you think you'd find rib eye's in every grocery if total rib eye sales in the usa were 1,000 for the year? I don't.
the people paying money for a ticket to a massive dance party couldn't have chosen to not go? that sounds like a choice to me.
we're all free to like or dislike whatever music or food we want to, but that doesn't change measurements of success.
