>>130591966Once a sizeable scene gets established the community becomes more about the culture or image than it does the music. You've got a handful of tastemakers of sorts at the beginning who rant about how good something is, and by the end of it you've got a big scene where 70% of the people there don't actually think for themselves and don't know how to listen to shit, but they all still think they've got it all figured out
