That doesn't follow.
1. a blues singer listens to mainstream
2. a blues singer hears a variety of blues influences on the mainstream
3. a blues singer says, "Hey great, we got some blues influences in the mainstream, let me try to add some more"
- eightysixfour 5y agoWhat? I think we're talking about different processes and different time frames. The blues musician who just wants to be popular/mainstream isn't really what I'm going for, because they stop at step 2: 1. "Hipster" creates music that is anti-mainsteam, becomes popular for doing something different (and doing it well, at the right time/place, etc.) 2. Over years, mainstream music adopts unique thing hipster did. <- this is where you stop 3 New generation of hipsters create music that is anti-mainstream... <- this is what is relevant to this discussion You can find examples of the above in any modern genre of music and I would argue is a part of a bigger pattern that happens to any sub/counter culture.
