On the other hand, we are all free to pursue what we wish to pursue, and to define art and music as we wish. No malice intended, and best to you. DJs have totally taken over the wedding and private party scene, but in no small part because pop music is almost all totally programmed and studio-created anyway and is almost impossible to recreate with live musicians playing live, un-sequenced, acoustic instruments, so it was inevitable. It's not the fault of DJs.

One one hand, I think it's sad that live local music is almost universally dead.
On the other hand, the utter vast majority of "local bands" are so utterly awful it's difficult to hold it against people for avoiding it whenever possible.
