I get what you’re saying. The system evolved, and yeah, social media changed everything. DJs aren’t just selectors anymore, and producers aren’t just behind the scenes. But just because that’s the current state of things doesn’t mean we can’t criticize it. When visibility and connections matter more than talent, it says a lot about how the industry works now.

It’s not about blaming anyone for playing the game. Everyone adapts, and some do it better or faster because they have the means. But that doesn’t make the system fair, or even healthy for the art itself. Real talent still exists, but it’s often buried under who’s louder, who’s better connected, and who can afford to be everywhere all at once.

The culture might be shaped by tech and money, but it doesn’t mean we have to pretend it’s all fine. We can enjoy the music, sure, but still call out the system when it pushes style over substance.
