First of all, science fiction never really "broke into the mainstream" as you say it did, and second,how does finding that trite techno-trash music uninspiring make someone any less of a sci-fi fan?  How COULD music like that inspire you if it is as banal as the images that accompany it on screen?  Most of us ARE science fiction fans; it's just that narrow-minded idiots like yourself don't want to realize that your precious "Matrix" movie plagiarized the premise and plot (and basically, everything else you can think of) from many other BETTER films and comic books (notably, "Dark City" and "The Invisibles").  It seems to me that anyone such as yourself that thinks that sci-fi doesn't need to be intelligent and thought-provoking needs to be doing a little research on what sci-fi actually is.  And yes, if something is dumbed-down and spoon-fed to the audience, it is NOT entertainment because it takes the intelligence of the audience for granted.  Real sci-fi makes people THINK (but then again, I guess people like you think that's too much of a burden, and want others to do all the thinking for you).  Oh well, just don't whine to all the free-thinking people out there once you find you're unhappy with all the rest of the "Matrix" clones that come out in the following years, after all, YOU are the type that endorses this so-called "original" sci-fi.
