anything that is self complimenting is snobby.
perhaps the whole self hype marketing may come into play here. in fact the more I think about it the more it seems to be clear that is all that it ever was. everything else was already done, said, pushed....then along came.... idm.
I don't buy that. it's all just a [new] adjective to describe music that was already here/around. A sudden market to create a new wave of buyers..... ....
marketing...

back on topic:
I was actually put on the spot when I had to dj at a museum. I thought it was just going to be a few people here and there. I had my back turned and was going through a few records..
I turned around and it could have been closed to 50 poeple, high school students wth parents, * lots of eyes looking at me. then the guy who invited me to play tells everyone to participate in asking me questions.....
I said out loud.... "awww man I didn't know it was going to be like this..." with a laugh.
I think I was telling them about my first love for minimal / studio 1 releases. then this older guy ask... what is minimal?
only guessing he didnt really know...........and I *think* I explained it as..... the focus is more on subtle changes......
