[Dance Paradise] The Rise of Indie/Rock and R&B/Hip Hop Good For EDM???

In the last year there has been a rise in the number of Hip-Hop/ R&B
artist making more club orientated music (e.g Rhianna- Please Dont
Stop The Music) and it has become very popular (at least in the UK)
which has risen to it getting more club play and commercial notice.
There is also Indie/Rock making its way onto the club/rave scene
(Klaxons- Not Over Yet), and Ibiza Rocks is looking like its going to
have its biggest year with a whole Ibiza Rocks Hotel on the White
Isle schedualed for the '08 season.

Anyway, it seems that these genres are eating away at EDM as the
major form of club play and while i was unhappy at the change at
first on reflection i think it may be a good thing. If they force EDM
back underground and out of commercialism then prehaps there will be
a Renaissance of sorts in the Uber Genre. EDM and particularly trance
will be flushed of all its crap like Cascada becasue they rely on
their popularity to make money. Most people will jump ship when
something new comes in to replace the old like Cascada and with no
talent what so ever they would not last in the "New EDM" where
musical talent would be critical to survive.

It would also mean then end of DJ worship....clubs wouldnt be able to
charge £30 for a ticket to pay for Tiesto, Armin etc which would give
new DJ talent a chance to shine and in doing so outshine the old
DJ's.

Once again....what are your views on the topic?

Do you want the renaissance going back to quality music and no "dress
to impress" dress codes for clubs?

or are you happy with the scene at the moment?

NOTE: I believe that there is still good EDM at the moment....its
just it would be nice to see that it gets recognition rather than
being pushed away by big money.
