kjg, i didn't respond to your comments and address them fully because it wasn't worth it, i just used some of your words, but i will say a few things.
you now narrow it down to bling bling, those who are idiots and don't care about the quality of the music. then why are they even in the position to get it mastered? i know artists(every genre) that really don't care about the music and when given free studio time don't show up, don't return calls, complain about bus fare, etc.
if a client doesn't know but makes a mistake in comparing things, you can either try and hope they overstand, concede to their wishes, or refer to them as idiots. of couurse,some can read the vibe and disdain of certain engineers and will act accordingly to that vibe in the futture.
you take an example then paint all those in the subculture with the same brush, as if no one in different genres or levels of years and experience haven't made similar or other detrimental demands.
i'm not telling you to change your bias and opinion, doesn't affect me in the least bit, i just found it funny that your whole post was denigrating the music and the people who make/listen to it ('in the last 10 years') instead of the article and/or the 'loudness wars' (and now i'm doing the same thing as far as not commenting on the thread). it seemed kinda troll-like, not that there's anything wrong with that
