I think what you are objecting to is the scene and the inherent feeling of fakery. I wouldn't be bothered by it too much, I've been in the industry for quite a while and I've seen people come and go. If you truly love this job you'll be here in a decade or more, but only if you love it. The fly-by-nights will have flown.

And just think, they make you look all that much better. For all the hype of this industry we really are a conservative pragmatic bunch. We don't fall for the hype too often.
