The end is near, there is no hope for Dance Music if this happens

I agree with that, but now whenever I tell some one that I'm a House DJ and produce music they are automatically going to say/ask "Oh really? Like Deadmau5 and SHM?", and then I have to go on to explain how that's not really House music

How is that different from other artists at any other point in dance music's history?

Now that I think of it, I'm just going to stop telling people what I do to save both of us the headache

Quitter.

Look at what it's done to rap/hip hop

It used to actually say something, now it's utter crap. Not interested in seeing that happen any more than it already has.

So, I don't spin hip hop very much because I don't enjoy it. But I listen to it…a good bit. Mainstream and underground.

There always have been and always will be really shitty artists in any genre. The reason you're glorifying that point in hip hop's history is because no one remembers the shitty artists…not because they didn't exist.

And it's not all the mainstream's fault. You don't get more mainstream than Yeezy. Go listen to Kanye's last two albums for good examples of mainstream hip hop that actually says something.

People need to stop blaming "mainstream" shit for everything wrong in the world. You're all wrong. There wouldn't be an underground/counterculture without a mainstream culture that it was avoiding.

Can't argue that
