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. 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. I like what I like. I like Deadmau5, I like bloghouse, I even like some dubstep! I don't give a gently caress how my attitude correlates to the type of music I listen to. Everyone else in this thread has their panties up in a bunch about their music tastes and their "attitudes" about those tastes and it's pathetic and goes against what music, for me at least, is about : having fun. But oh well, that's NMD for you I guess

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.

When did this turn into a "dissing people's musical tastes" thread? I think no matter what genre you like, some of you need to listen to a little more minimal techno, maybe it'll calm you down...

b/c there is a lot of people who actually have listened to electronic music longer than Deadmau5 has been alive. Also, Zimmerman's attitude is pretty jerky, and his music imho (and what seems to be a lot of ppl online and in the clubs) consider most of his tracks are pretty much repetitive and forgettable. It's just like with Tiesto fans in the first half of 2000s.

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.

While I don't consider myself an expert of electronica like others here might, I do know a good amount of artists. You can't really argue that mau5 isn't doing something right, because he's obviously geting fans and he DOES bring a lot of non electronic fans into the genre. That's where the problem is. He's bringing in a whole slew of unseasoned electronica listeners, and they simply don't know about the underground side of things. This thread should be used to take someone who listens to bloghouse and show (not tell) them all the stuff they're missing.  The moral of the story is - nobody knows all the cool songs out there. Some people might know more cool songs than others, and this thread is a place to share them so that we all learn more about music and expand our tastes to new things. start posting youtubes again

Tiesto just played here a month ago, and it was like kids I never knew who liked electronic jizzed their genitals over being one of 5000 people packed into a hall that fits 2500 max to dance while avoiding huge ed hardy chongos. I'm taking my cuz to Coachella for his first music festival ever, and the first thing he told me was that he couldn't wait to see Tiesto and David Guetta. Considering that this dude listens to 2pac on repeat, it's easy to see how mainstreamed producers get a fierce and loyal following. It's easy to say at 19 years old that electronic music nowadays revolves around rookie producers and bloghouse sensations. I have been listening to electronic music ever since my older bro played me a classic acid house compilation in 92. Now I'm not saying that my taste is better than yours, but I will say that my experience (and those in this thread who have similar beginnings as mine into the genre) have taught me that latching onto every flash-in-the-pan producer or genre (HARD HOUSE ANYONE?) is a quick way to homogenize your personal taste. look at Bassnectar. He started off playing hippie psytrance/breaks and now he's a dubstep dj? It's been 5 years since dubstep hit and honestly, people are gonna go back to regular dnb cuz if you've been to a bad dubstep show, it makes you beg for some original nuttah.

Question: If you hate Tiesto so much why go to one of his shows? Do you actually pay those steep ticket prices just so you can go to the shows and whine about how "inferior" they were over your precious forums? I'm new to electronic music. I admit it! I started listening to the genre for among a few reasons being, hah, that I figured the genre had much more unity and much less scrambling for "cred" than other genres. I don't "latch" myself onto any producers, I discovered Deadmau5 myself and decided I like him. A lot of my friends like him too. That's good enough for me. Not sure what you're saying about Bassnectar either, his stuff has been pretty consistently dubstep for five years or so now and it still delivers sooo ManoliIsFat posted:I've got a philosophy degree, you do not want to get in to this argument with me.

Dude, you are loving stupid if you think people go to shows just to post how much they hated them on the forums. I never didn't said I went to Tiesto, but with the onslaught of facebook status updates I read when his date approached, I put two and two together. and for the record, I've seen Tiesto in two different venues at two different times in his career, and I thought both were pedestrian at best. These included tiny club shows that fit 200 people and big gently caress-off festivals. He still played trance that peaked in 1999 and long-rear end buildups that stopped the flow of the set numerous occasions. But will I be happy for my cuz who will get to see him for the first time? YES. But will I also shove drugs in his mouth an hour before Club 75 hits the decks FOX YES. as for Bassnectar and followers of his music, I am living in pretty much the centre of Bassnectar fans in Canada. It all started with tree-dancing psy-hippies who play the worst loving trance ever, then BAM stoned wobble music is their bag, and it seems to me that he just followed the herd cuz I'm pretty sure I saw Bassnectar 4 years ago and there wasn't a loving dubstep track in that shizz. When I started listening to electronic, I figured that I should go backwards and figure out how all of it started, and honestly, it gave me more appreciation of what was coming out.

Mr Viper you should check out these droid parties. I looked around their website and found my way to youtube. If you like minimal stuff, you pretty much don't have the option to not go. If you would, click around through this video and look at how sweet it looks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOBFlqhgHvQ That was a 10/10 suggestion you received from ManoliIsFat. I think you should go, and then trip report it in this thread so we can all be jealous  If I lived in California I would go for sure
