The Indie Revolution

With such a strong "stick it to the man" attitude that has risen over the last few years, hatred has grown towards the mainstream music market. Many independent bands are starting to rise from the small towns and communities. I think somewhere in between the time that this movement became popular and currently, we lost the appreciation and due respect that the music industry deserves.
After watching just a couple of performances on the Grammys this year, this hit me like a rock! There is an almost untouchable talent that lies in this industry. You watch people like Justin Timberlake or Taylor Swift and you can't help but just sit back in shock! In the responses that might come regarding this I don't want to hear people speak up at how "evil" this industry is. True there is a level of unholiness in a lot of it but there is raw talent that lies there that I believe was God breathed. I have heard many "christian" musicians speak out saying stuff like "the Grammys are horrible and I wish that more people would watch the "Dove Awards"" instead. Well I pose this question to you... why? What is your reasoning for it? Music is music whether it is worship, r&b, rock, whatever. I think that the only reason that christian music doesn't normally make it's way into the Grammys is because there is a lack of talent or a content attitude that says "we can't accomplish that so why try?". I believe we NEED christians in that market, not christians to boycott it. Music is one of our biggest "ins" to the world. It is something that EVERYONE has in common. This is where I chime in on the indie market. Don't get me wrong I love the underground rock bands. I, too, have found my place currently in the indie community. My only challenge to you is to not be satisfied with mediocrity or contentment of being just a small band that hates mainstream. There is a reason why bands such as U2, Justin T., Coldplay ect. are where they are right now and it isn't because they just played around once every couple of weeks together and one day a producer magically appeared at their practice and offered them a multimillion dollar contract. NO! They worked HARD, they took chances and they never were satisfied with being where they were at. I am not talking here about idolatry or greed but just the opposite. Action on your drives and passions. I know this is a random note and it may seem that it doesn't apply to you but I beg to differ. I think anyone can learn from this lesson of not settling for less than everything that God wants for you to accomplish.
