I guess that's why so many Americans don't vote and they end up with... no mind. ;) Too many people feel like that and we get Tiesto. I guess I abstained from a recent Australian poll for similiar reasons but see it as an act of subversion. I think it's misleading to be so suspicious of 'fashion', all the music we love was at one stage 'fashion', techno, house, even UR, if it endures, that's the point. Fashion is part of a cycle of change - and evolution - in the arts and maybe your ambivalence is the heightened capitalism surrounding it that exploits it. I think people dismiss 'fashion' without thinking (I have done so myself). We can make fashion.
