I think the best way to successfully be a part of a 'scene' or 'movement' is to keep your mouth shut and your head in the dirt. I think the best way to preserve any culture is probably to not question where it's going everyday. Just make something, maybe somebody will like it. If they don't, it doesn't mean it’s not what it is...
Artists should stick to art. Cultures don’t begin because people sit around and say, "let's start a culture”. They begin because intelligent people and the true artists feel a need to think outside every box in existence at the time.
