Message boards ensure the survival of obscurity and midget porn.

The Backbone

For most genres, board cultures aren't a vital component of keeping the music alive. If the internet were gone tomorrow, you would still have MTV and local radio stations pumping out the usual hits over and over again until our ears bleed. However, for the underground scene, word of mouth has always been the backbone. Which is why it's important for that medium to reach the widest audience possible. Before the net, promotion of indie music would be as if MTV broadcast locally in New York. With message boarding, the audience has become national, and spawned an entirely new culture. A culture that, one can argue, rivals even the largest of midget pornography rings.
