It's got everything that I love about "electro" music compact nicely into approx 6 minutes. When you get a second, go back and check out how many classics Zinc has made. That dude is an inspiration.

I can almost forgive him for not knowing what the term "electro" means. But he also doesn't know the term "dancehall" so, again, it may be a lost cause.

PhonyMcRingRing posted:I didn't know that electro had been changed to meaning "rapping and yelling over chip tunes and sound effects" but ok. It's not about you not liking a mix, it's about you hating it for the most lame, uninformed reasons. I'm no South Rakkas stan at all, but you can't just say that kinda poo poo about electro. It makes you a newjack gently caress. You have to be trolling. That's like "I didn't know techno used to be so spooky" or that drum and bass utilized breaks. Or that dancehall uses weird electronic sounds. It all speaks to how hilariously unexposed you are to huge genres that have been around for multiple decades. You can be a carefree candy kid teenager/basement dweller with no cares about history or even having a desire to be exposed to really cool music you're dismissing out of hand. You can go on listening to all the corporate rave electrohouse you want. But you don't have to be so snarky about it. You don't have to be a complete nerd about music to know these basic facts. I mean, you are fronting on Afrika Bambaataa, dude. Do you have any idea of how sacrilegious that is to anyone who enjoys the music of the last 30 years? (You also talked about radio rap disparagingly, which is the first sign of being way too goony to be taken seriously.)

Jesus, I make a one off remark describing the sound of a mix and now it's being implied that I must think that about every single thing I listen to. But this is your first time hearing Planet Rock; you've got to get down to brass tacks.

Sorry, I didn't mean to run your thread in to the ground. I love dancehall a lot, and to see it be called radio rap poo poo hurts. And to hear that from a kid who doesn't know what the word "electro" means and only heard Planet Rock for the first time on January 14th, 2010 gets my blood going. For someone to hear a Sebastian track before they've heard the Soul Sonic Force breaks my heart. I'm sorry for acting all superior.

Slackerish posted:because god-forbid they do it the old-fashioned way, through hard-work! No, it's much better to go ahead and pretend you're another band instead of using that effort to promote their own poo poo. anyone who needs to assume the identity of another loving artist to get publicity is a hack and talent or not shouldn't be recognized positively at all. Just because HypeM blew up because of it doesn't mean you have to be so angry. Its exactly the same as kids who put their band mp3s on Napster and said they were Blink 182 for more downloads. It doesn't mean you've got to denounce them and act like this is the ethical transgression of the decade. People got punked; it's very, VERY funny. Nothing more than that

I mean, you liked that track when you thought it was Justice, but now you're all mad. You shouldn't be mad the dude who made that track betrayed you, you should be angry with yourself for not still liking it. You should be disappointed with yourself for not laughing because a bedroom producer pulled one over on you.

I mean, jesus christ homie, you make fun of guidios but everything you have ever said, in this thread and the previous one, obviously comes from the mind of worst type of newjack candy kid. You may as well be a desert trance fan with the way you act. And when you diss dubstep you're dissing nobody but yourself and your limited conception of it.

Slackerish posted:I still think it's a good track. Which is why I wish the guy would have just taken his own credit for it instead of claimed to be somebody else. I'm not some Justice-fag who is going to lose sleep over the matter, but whether it's techno or alternative or loving Miley Cyrus, I still believe in artistic integrity. If you have a problem with that, sorry. And why don't you realize no one listens to Myspace tracks, there's a thousand great ones. A way to get noticed in today mediocre, everyone's-a-producer world is to do exactly what this kid did. You gotta reconsider this artistic sanctimony. Slackerish posted:Ok, see, you're proving my point. "Newjack candy kid" "desert trance fan." I have no idea what those terms mean, nor do I give a flying gently caress.

Slackerish posted:No, see, I do realize, I just don't give a gently caress because I'm talking to a bunch of faceless people over the internet who have no notion that music taste is subjective. Uhhh, no one's saying you don't like that music. Just that your taste, while not measured against some objective standard, can still be called comparatively childish and unexposed to cool things. If I ask you to name your five favorite raps and 2 are from eminem, 2 from snoop and 1 from dr dre, I'm gonna say that you're unexposed. A neophyte! Like MOCA doesn't just hire any old gallerist because looking at a painting is totally subjective. Furnace posted:It's just like with Tiesto fans in the first half of 2000s.

LOL ya that isn't possible to have a carefreetime time at a party that costs less than $100 to attend, isn't filled with a bunch of my-first-rave-teenagers not knowing their limits, but still has the same caliber of artists. Besides, drugs are really easy to bring in and cop at even mid-sized massives, but when they start getting more people than a baseball game, security becomes a totally different thing. So I don't see how dancing around at a multi-million dollar event lets you have the best possible time. But if all you've seen as a Southern Californian are those massives and not really anything else (especially if you're younger than 21 or not clued in to the illegal party scene), I can see how you'd have a skewed perspective.

The Fresh Prince posted:People can have fun at both massives and smaller concerts. People need to get over their lovely feelings that some type of people at concerts are somehow "inferior". Although there are people that are annoying as gently caress, they came to enjoy the music as much as you did. So people need to get over their feelings and just go have fun at concerts. I feel you, but you called a party a "concert" and you complimented present-day A-trak... so I don't know what to think! Of COURSE people can have a good time at EDC. They wouldn't throw it, tens of thousands of people wouldn't come out if the kids there didn't enjoy themselves. But you can't tell me some velvet rope bullshit with a VIP lounge is the epitome of rave-music mentality, or that there's a lot of "we're all one" vibes at a place with a separate room for people who spent more.

But by the same token, I'd take a 200 person party over a 20,000 person party any day. quote:also: we used to get our drugs into WEMF every year by digging out the center of a peanut butter jar, puttin the big ol baggie in the middle and then covering it up. then we would go "oh oops here's a glass jam jar and we're not allowed to have glass and the security dude checking the car would forget about the drug search and just take the jam and be all like "tsk tsk, silly kids". ahahah did the pills or whatever smell like peanut butter after? that could potentially be good, cover up the sour-"thizz face" taste.
