That’s a good point. I’m familiar with the concept, but didn’t realize it had been formalized so distinctly, so I suppose you’re right.
It’s interesting, though, because one would think that’s there’s always going to be a balancing act between wanting to make your message more well known and wanting to keep it unadulterated.
I just love hearing the recent sonic commercials because at the end you can hear the unmistakable voice of Marc Rebillet (Loop Daddy) for a fraction of a second saying “wanna live free” and I get so happy knowing his music wasn’t tarnished by commercialism, but he likely made bank of that 1 second line.
It’s like when one of your favorite tracks from an album gets used in a commercial.
It’s cool but also sucks.
Like when Plastina Mosh’s "Supercombo Electronico" got used in like a Verizon commercial.

Any brand willing to risk it for the biscuit by using Skullgrid in an advert is ok by me.
Band I love gets money, brand gets… confused public?
