Ha, ever been to Portland? Been to NY? Even L.A? Heck yes, they are tons of them performing and, if you're into the genre, you typically find them through other performers. You see a show with one artist, find out about another through them, ect ect. And my God, with the internet it is beyond easy. Then again, judging by the styles of music listed in your user interests, you don't strike me as the type of person who would know this.... though you like to talk about it as though you do.

No, actually. I've never been outside the midwest because some people in this world don't have the resources to do so. But way to make yourself look like an asshole by suggesting that to know anything about the genre you must have the ability to travel.

And which artists are you referring to? PJ Harvey? Tori Amos? Rob Zombie? Nick Cave? Marilyn Manson? Oh, no, you're saying because I like Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers that all my other musical tastes are completely negated. How open-minded of you.

Okay, you don't travel, but could you stop talking about things you know nothing about? First this genre and now twisting what I said. I asked if you had been there, didn't say you had to be in order to know the genre. What I am saying is it is far reaching.

I've known people who became fans of the genre while living in the same area as you and mostly through the internet. Yes, many find Amanda first because she is well known, but it doesn't mean she's the be all end all of the genre or that people don't have other choices, like you stated. It also doesn't mean she is cashing in just because she happens to be the more well known.

I just think you sounded very naive and rude (even if you didn't intend to) to act like you know anything about the genre, when none of the artists you listen to even belong in it.

Have you ever BEEN to a Tori Amos show? She blows Amanda Palmer out of the water. And yes, I've been to a couple of Dresden Dolls shows. I spent three years pretending that I liked the genre for the sake of friends who were ga-ga about it and got dragged along plenty of places. I know my fair share about the genre.

Look, I am sorry if I got out of line. Personally, the music, especially Amanda, helped me through a hard time. I like Tori as well, who is also actually very close friends with Neil Gaiman (who Amanda is dating, of course), but I think her and Amanda's styles are quite different on certain levels.

All I'm saying is the genre helped me greatly and I dislike when people act as though they know about it when they don't. I accept you know some of the genre, but I still stand by saying that there are many other artists there to like besides Amanda and many ways to find them, rather Amanda is the first they find or not (and anyone who thinks the genre could be cool will look past Amanda if they don't like her to at least be sure).

Forgive me, but I really don't think your previous comment can be interpreted as anything but "if you haven't been to these places where tons of cabaret artists perform then you don't know what you're talking about". There is no reason to expect a person to have traveled to any of those places to begin with. The world, it is big.

You hang in there, you're fighting the battle on behalf of many of us and doing a great job!!

Damn, if you wanted to sound like a pretentious asshole, you really succeeded. Congratulations.
By the way, you do know that there is a world outside of the US, right?
(Also? It's etc., not ect.)

Yes, I am quite aware of a world outside the US since I'm not originally from the US. I've lived there quite a while, though, and was discussing the performers you find in the general US. My point was that the artists of that genre can often be found in some of the most music focused areas of the US, so they are not hard to find, as the OP claimed.

Thank you for the note on ect, my mistake.

Even when big name musicians come here, they don't often come to my city.
