Snap this up for a song ?

Snap this up for a song ?
Snap this up for a song ? Canadian Dubstep duo Zeds Dead recently appeared on Much Music for an interview as well as a set. While checking up on the Shambhala 2011 facebook group, I noticed that a discussion had been posted regarding their appearance. I was blown away at how many people were criticising the duo, saying that they were “selling out”, and all kinds of rants about how dubstep should remain underground. While I, like anyone, liked when electronic music was underground… it’s time to face the facts. The scene is blowing up, and who are we to criticise artists for taking up great opportunites to showcase their music!? I saw several comments stating that Much Music is mainstream garbage… which made me wonder why people weren’t HAPPY to see Zeds Dead featured and glad to see less mainstream artists getting the attention that they deserve. To be honest it just seems like a bunch of hipsters who are cranky because something they enjoy has become popular and now they can’t admit to liking it anymore.
