The new Detroit? Really??? Try as they might, it's not happening.
SURE, you can recruit our producers, DJs, etc. SURE, you can use the
same tools we use. But you DO NOT, WILL NOT or CANNOT embody the spirit
that makes us what WE are. So, whatever you want to call it, you can be
"Detroit-ish," but you will NEVER EVER be DETROIT. And when the new
"genre of the year" ultimately dies out, you best believe that WE WILL
STILL BE HERE.
Respectfully Real,

I think the article makes some good points but mostly in the context
of the UK, where musical sub-genres are written about as though they
were stars in their own right.
The Detroit attitude is, I'd hope, more eclectic, and the musicians I
talk to think more in terms of good or bad than this genre or that
genre. So I can talk with Alan Oldham about Creation Records Shoegazer
bands, and with Shake about Cooly G.
It may be the mark of the difference in size of the UK and American
scene. Dance music probably has more fans in the UK than in the
entire United States -- our big cities barely support one scene, let
alone have new ones bubbling up from the underground every few weeks.
