Man, I tried (and I say *tried*) to listen to the EDC live stream on Sirius...what the fucking fuck.
I mean, I've never been a fan of the ADHD EDM shit, but fuck - this was like a weekend long exercise in how to cram as many annoying sounds in to one weekend, with some dumb shits shouting "Let's Go!" oe "one, two three!" on the drop.
I've been in to dance music since about 1994, before I even knew what it really was. I've seen a lot of good and shit music go. I've been to happy hardcore raves. I've been to dub step events. Yes, i've witnessed shit music.
But nothing, and I'm not exaggerating comes close to absolute steaming turd that was playing on Electric Area for hours straight on Sat and Sun. Even sander van doorn's first 30 mins (all I caught of it) was terrible.
Is this what it has come to? Is this what people actually think Dance music is these days or is it just a little microcosm of Vegas bad taste, concentrated in to 72 hours of shite?
