Don't get me wrong, it’s not the style of music I have a grievance against, more the bandwagoning, and the apparent lack of diversity this seems to be generating. After all, no musical genre can survive in a vacuum: it has to grow, to feed; to survive it has to move beyond pale imitation into innovation.
