Most people hear buy 'uncommercial' music. We do so because we want to. The musicians who post here aren't forced to 'conform' They play music they like to people who want to hear it.They don't get rich, but I for one am quite glad about that.
Hippie, if you want to be an "airhead droid" and buy "airhead droid" music, you can. If you want to buy good, interesting, intelligent music you can do that too.
All the best, and welcome to the Mudcat
