Why EDM is dead in America?
Time for me to get on my soap box and stfu to those who get annoyed by it. But I have been trying to ascertain why EDM is so damn dead here in America. I'm guessing it's just because most of us don't have the patience to listen to an entire album by Sasha as he loops ethereal beats and synths together. Most of us would rather pop in a Lil' John cd and laugh as he says "yeaaaaah!"
When you go to a club these days in the States you see those damn kandii girls whom I detest. You know, those ones who snorted their prescribed ritalin, jump around shouting "plur!" and chew on their glowsticks. They also tend to look like rejected extras from the movie Party Monster.
That's about as normal looking as they get.
When I go to a club, I generally try to look somewhat classy...
me on the far left, Keri, then Kristy (oh yeah, the KKK is back, and some of us are in black, whoda thunk it?)
If you ask someone to name a trance track, they can only name Sandstorm. Gah! Sandstorm is not the be all and end all of trance! I dunno, it's just kind of annoying to me.
What are your thoughts on this?
in NYC, candy ravers arent much present in clubs just in raves...
Lucky. I had one follow me around at the Ferry show I went to back in January. She ran into me four times as though she lacked complete depth perception... that ganky bitch.
I suddenly want to move to Atlanta

I don't really run into much of the kandy kid rif-raf @ the clubs in Chicago. I guess the whole 21+ thing kind of excludes most of that based on the fact that people who are that age have (usually) outgrown that sort of thing.
What exactly do you want?

Maybe you should move to Toronto or Montreal? They seems to have a kickass clubbing scene happening there.....

stop complaining and do something about it.. help the scene, try to organize small events, promote good parties without thinking of the money, spread good music to ppl who are open minded etc etc etc... nothing will happen if all your doing is 'waiting' for shit to get better. if it affects you that much, move to a more advanced clubbing country, if not try to make small changes in your area. any positive movement big or small all contribute to the scene as a whole.
