I was asked a few weeks ago what I felt was causing a certain genre of music to not gain a fan base or to not gain the recognition it once had. Although I don't claim to be an expert or to have the solution to fix this particular genre, I do have my thoughts on why there is no movement. Every genre of music goes through phases and with these phases there is a brand new twist on the foundation of what the music was created on.
