[QUOTE="Pixie, post: 38964, member: 8"] You can never say that a scene died. Nothing in music died & the fact that people do/.did listen to it means it was worthwhile producing. People make records in demand of the market & it's always the way it will be. Lots of people go on about "it was better when it was underground" - it's never gonna stay that way forever. The more popular something becomes. it stops being underground. Look at stuff like Steps, S-club7 etc. We may not like them but they produce records for the demand & it works for them. There are so many different genres of music about these days, people try to label them differently to make them more popular - I mean, whoever thought up the phrase HARDBAG !! WFT??!! It was merely a marketing ploy to make the kids out raving think they were getting into something new whilst it was still 'underground' and then making it big & cashing in. I've realised this more literally over this last weekend - I went ot a hard house club for the first time & IMO it was basically hard techno (really bouncy, fast repetative beats) but with vocal smples from loads of OS tunes. I heard samples from Little Bird, Anybody out there, Josh Wink, a dremfrequesny one that I can't remember the name of ....but the point I'm trying to make is that to me it was old tunes made more for the new generation. For me personally I loved it cos it meant I still got to hear snippets of my fave kind of tunes but that I could bounce my little socks off fast as you like. No one kills types of music, it's like fashion, it changes all the time & moves on & develops towards whatever the market demands at the time. Just my rambling thoughts guys. [/QUOTE]
