It takes work and talent to do that too, because you have to learn how
all those samplers and looopers thingies work. It might be easier than
learning to play instrument but on the other side making a symphony is
probably harder than making a summer pop song. That doesn't make it
less music. So if the market is buying it I don't see what's the
problem. You want to be a star go mainstream. If that includes
mumbling while standing on your head with female wrestlers in the
background get use to it. Else stop whining, you choosed to play
something that's music for you but the masses aren't accepting it.
They might be sheeps, but they're sheeps with money and you won't get
any of their money playing jazz, classic or whatever the chosen few
listen. Aren't people surprised when they found out that Armstrong was
actually a jazz icon. They only heard of him because of what a
wondeful world? And I doubt you're better jazzer than Satchmo.
