Has DDR gotten to popular?

[Brigg Brags About Bag]

Actually, me an a friend were arguing about this earlier today. This was in light of the news of DDR's appearance on NBC's Morning show.

He basically stated that it'll become more popular, then it will get made fun of and parodized to death on TV and then nobody'll like it and it'll die out like Pokemon, South Park and other media fads.

I really don't know what to make of that, but I'm fairly sure that the idea of it booming into "mainstream" popularity, then just dying out has a few holes in it.

~Brigg - You can enver be too sure when it comes to Mainstream Popularity.

Here's a problem with the popularity, we're starting to get more boring american songs that don't kinda fit in. Sure, I like Busy Child, Let's Groove, and a few others, but some are just too easy, and slow.

The Good: We're finally getting some good European songs. We may finally be getting a DJ Speedo song in Extreme, and now all we need is Jenny Rom or The Zippers, and we're set. A new Captain Jack song would be nice too.

I think it's slowly been growing in America. What we don't want to see happen is infomercials popping up and tv shows being created based on it and eight thousand new versions coming out every year.

What would be ideal is if they limited liscensing altogether and kept with a style that can evolve throughout a mix and separate it from the mainstream. After all, geologically speaking streams will eventually carve their way into the ground in winding paths of least resistance, and when that happens they're pretty much just still water that will either dry up and die out or carve a new branch in a different direction. (I took earth science 3 years ago, I hope some of that's right.)

I think it best DDR stay an underground river with an untraceable source and a small outlet in the ocean.

You know what I now think? I think that as long as there are DDR freaks and not just young children who switch attention so rapidly (middleschoolers) there will be DDR.

Actually, all my DDR friends now moved on to IIDX, but I still play DDR with them every once and a while. Everyone at my school is amazed at me clearing R&P on standard. Guess they never heard of it, but it must be cool for them to see. I don't see DDR dying out in the Western front for another couple years, AS LONG AS THEY KEEP MAKING NEW ARCADE MIXES!!

Goose945, In the Navy was a 3rd Mix song. That is CLASSIC DDR. You're obviously new if you didn't know this. Therefore you're part of the "problem." You need to leave.

Wesdives, why wouldn't we want 8000 new versions every year? I surely would. (Not that many, but I could stand 5 or 6.)

I wouldn't mind DDR going mainstream since I would have 2 years of experience over the new people that play crash and daikenkai on beginner 999999999 times and pick up chicks that much easier =D

Seems all the 12-14 year olds are doing skateboards right now. Pfft, that was last year's fad <_<
