I don't know. When someone just reiterates genre conventions it sounds like bandwagoning. If someone works in a different genre and there is vitality, inventiveness, fire in the song, then it is not bandwagoning, it is expression.

More useless opinions from nwj

so if you're not pushing a completely unique, you're bandwagoning? i mean most producers need to go through a bit of a more basic stage imo before they have the ability to redefine genres...

aka, i don't really have a problem with people who make sounds that aren't groundbreaking, as long as they add their own flavor to it, no matter how small or subtle that is.
