Failing to defend your own art against defacements on behest of the industry is failure anyway. I am afraid, you are correct in this anyway, I do believe, that I am not entirely alone when I spend my money on music, that suits me better... To avoid misunderstanding: I do not dislike loudness as such. If it is done right and fits an artistic concept, I really like to hear loudness-mastering too. The last Dead Can Dance LP is incredibly loud and still has a lot of interesting texture and atmosphere. The QOTSA-album with the descriptive name "Songs for the deaf" is infamously toothpasted too but they manage it, to keep it sound organic and even quite dynamic. I remember recording Motörheads Ace of Space back in 1983 or so onto a tapemachine with real VUs and how impressed I was, that the VU did not move at all ;-) I think, some more discordianism could help also. It should be considered more swag to be different/individual. Many kids feel that way, just have a look upon the fanbase of Anit-folk reactionaries like Düne or the Two Gallants. best regards HZN
