having direct access to every okayplayer's opinion of your music, style of dress, love life, and whether you prefer briefs or boxers is a good thing. it might be the other way around. its hard to be creative when criticism (even poisitive criticism is flowing steadily).


or interacting with fans might let artists know how few people actually do hear them and how little their music is truly understood. You have to admit that there are a lot of fans of the roots and the okp's in general who are just reacting to a musical landscape that is void of social responsibility or originality. So by being socially responsible and original, the roots and okp's are the first alternative. But that doesn't mean that all the people here are really into the music so much as they are NOT into mainstream music. So these reactionaries post their ideas and opinions and the artists get to find out just how superficial some of their fans are.

Just saying there are two sides to the coin.
