It isn't always about us in the here and now, it is the legacy you leave behind for others to carry forward. I'm afraid I have to agree with Mark S, a lot of damage has been done and it is getting to the point where it is getting beyond repair. Surely folk can't keep on listening to the same records year after year? Did they go to a night club and hear the same top forty week after week, month after month, year after year whilst they had their 20 year sabbatical away from the scene they thought had died? They wouldn't have dreamed about it. Even the records that drip feed down from the proper all-nighter scene will dry up as many are getting totally disillusioned with it all and moving on to other things.
If they want to dress in ridiculous clothes, some of the worst fashion items ever seen that is up to them, but sometime soon promoters are going to have to take a look at the bigger picture and introduce different DJ's and different records. There are thousands out there totally ignored, even from the era they claim to represent.
