why do you think it's been so retarded up to this point and how long do you think will take to become as legitimate and powerful a genre as hip hop and rock and roll?

i truly don't understand why this universal method of songwriting and recording hasn't been more embraced than the blips and bleeps of linkin park or the drum machine in chingy's latest single. i went to europe 2 years ago and it had already been huge throughout for a few years. i live in l.a. and have been around to all the major u.s. cities the last couple years since and i still don't see electronica extend beyond a small pigeonhole obscure level of popularity, no bigger than subsections of genre's like rock and hiphop. there's almost zero airtime for it on the radio or cable here, and its very difficult to find new stuff if you're a fan or market it if you make it.
