That kinda happened with surf music--all kinds of new energy in the 90s turned to burn-out & sameness in the 00s and now it is a safe crutch for advertisers, directors, etc., to sell the CA and coastal innocence to those who never were there in the first place. I think I rambled... but there DOES need to be new energy poured into it and this site is THE place--I remember checking it when it first started WAITING for SOMEONE to post--now its HUGE
