Many of the dance tracks are more or less 'faceless' and a majority
of
the videos are little more than cartoons.

Whereas the R&B tracks are invariably chockablock full of good
looking
men and women wearing next to nothing, and they all have stories
which
viewers can latch on to, Nelly & Kelly's 9Dillemma' and Justin
Timberlake's 'Cry Me a River' being just two excellent examples.

If the kids like watching the videos then the music _will_ get
drilled
into their brains and it'll be what they ask for.

I disagree... TV has always played the same stuff around here... Even
when things were hittin hard... I'd say around here the demise of
house and techno have been the fact that te goverment has labeled it
as "rave" music and everything event thrown where djs played was
considered a rave and either shut down or attepted to be shut down.
Which gave the music a bad name, and the outlet people had to listen
to that style of music went away. Of coarse radio and TV hasn't
played it.. They never really have around here....

My 2 cents (yep - Yankee) is that it's about SONGS, and so much of
what has been coming out as "club music" for the past many years has
been so altogether forgettable! The Hip Hop & R&B songs go off live
because
people sing them, hum them and identify with them and can call them by
name. I think that if this recent trend does nothing more than shake
up the complacent club scene, it has been more than worthwhile.

And - so many of the underpaid regional and local club jocks are
mediocre programmers at best. As previously referred to in this
discussion as "playing what they want" and wondering why the crowd
isn't hip enough. Mediocre programmers playing non-descript music is a
recipe for boredom and, thankfully, change.

The reason a world-class DJ can play what they want
is that they understand what they are trying to do: they have a
beginning, with various routes and destinations in their sets... and
of course some *glorious* climaxes. When someone knows how to program
music well, the genre is unimportant (incidental, really), because
it's *the journey* that is exciting.
