Because of this feature of the market, when a band moves from the underground into the mainstream it has no choice but to try and be top dog. This is why so many bands change radically, transforming into indistinguishable mass-market acts as soon as they have had a taste of success.
這樣的市場特色讓地下樂團在進入主流市場後，只能以爭第一名的心態與方式操作，於是許多樂團往往大幅更動創作內容，稍稍成名後就走向風格模糊的「歌手型」藝人。
