Maybe confined wasn't the right word and I'm not some snobby indie music elitist. I don't tend to not like music and musicians that are overtly commercial because typically their music lacks something. I think it's possible to be immensely successful without cowing to the machine, huge bands like Zeppelin wrote the book on playing by their own rules. My tastes are varied and usually not dictated by how an artist approaches music but usually those that eschew commercialism have more substance.
