My mind is lost...
Ive recently been trying to grasp the concept of fame, and putting this brutally its fucking hard...
Its completely random. Anyone or anything could become famous at any time. This is mainly becuase trending and people's opinions can also, in theory, be completely random. For example, during the last 3 years bass music has had a massive explosion in the UK, however this isnt because bass music has changed or become more likeable, its largely due to people's opinions and views of the music have adapted. I use the word adapted, as this is where it will become a bit more stratagised in terms of coming to fame.
Although predicting what is going to be the next famous or big thing is impractical, it is possible for people's views to change on certain genres or trends. Its like in religion trying to contact a higher power. For example asking God dircetly (through means of a prey etc..) may not give many answers back directly. However, there are many middle men who are closer to the higher power, such as priests, vicars, cardinals etc. Its largely comparable to the process of coming to fame. Try to do it soley on own,and wont find yourself getting to far, however with the help of promotion companys, managers, organisers and distrubtors (ie.middle men) the process will become alot more acheivable.
This is NOT however the only way, it is possible to do it on your own, even the biggest djs and producers are looking to the next possibilty of further fame through their own means. It is important to keep that in mind, as i feel that delving too far into commercialising your productions can cause a lack of originality and creativity...
