I think most of us old folks don't go out much anymore. Many of us were going out multiple times a week, every week. We'd need fresh new blood to really revitalize the west coast forum.

^^ What he said.
This forum was alive 5-10 years ago. Most people that were posting were in their twenties or so but now these people are in their thirties or more which in most cases means married with children.
For most of these people clubbing is a thing of the past. Sad but true.

(Raises his hand) <----- guilty

Last event for me was Luciano at Avalon in February I believe.

I think 72 hit it on the head there. People just "got older" had kids ,careers, mortgages, etc...No time for going out every night.

Ive always wondered if the people that used to visit these forums still listen to electronic music (after it became pop music and they started to go out less and less )

I still lurk almost everyday. I'll be 40 in two weeks and I'm married with kids. So the wife and I go out at most 2 times a year. I still listen to house and other shit exclusively. Can't stand the radio haha. It's hard to get out. My wife is a business owner of 13 years I had a major promotion and work all the time. And a mortgage. Sucks to be old

Same (35 though )


Kids, Mortgage and full time job. I only go out 3-4 times a year. Couple of big ones like BPM Mexico or EDC and a maybe one club night. Crazy I used to go out 2-3 a week

From what I have seen and the people I met in the 90's and 00's is that everyone still does listen to it.

Maybe not as much as before, but they do here and there. I'm in the same position where I still listen to it, but no where nearly as regularly as I used to.

Can't wait for that one! Got my pre-sales tickets this week.

Agree on the changing times. I just turned 40... wife, mortgage and kids. I still try and make it out 4-5 times a year. I do miss TA, it was such a great resource for finding good events. Since I rarely get out, I want to make sure it's worth it.

I'm probably the oldest one here but who cares. I still listen to the music but don't go out that much anymore. Last time I went out was a few weeks ago for Hernan C and the venue was just terrible and so damn hot! Before that I think it was the last event at Circus in Dec. Yup, my favorite place was Circus where I was able to go alone and not worry about not knowing anyone but, that place is now gone after 35+ yrs.
Most of the people I know or would see often are now married, have kids and/or are doing something else.
I sure miss the fun times at Circus.

this place is the fucking AARP now

That's kind of it though; Clubbing and dance music are somewhat time specific interests.

I've got two businesses, property, employees, mortgages, responsibilities. I'll still got out very occasionally (like twice a year at the moment) becuase it's not fun getting wasted or staying up to 6am knowing that in a couple of hours the business is going to need my attention. Weekends basically don't exist to a business owner so it's only really if I have it free and clear that I can enjoy it.

It's a shame that some of my favourite LA clubs are gone now; Vanguard became an SBE EDM hellhole, Circus is gone, The Exchange is a good venue but has a odd crowd, and Avalon was always my last choice and it only got worse when they started dividing up the club.

I'd still go out to Sound in Hollywood, or maybe BPM in Tulum but otherwise, most clubs in LA aren't really enticing anymore.

It's the same situation in the NY forum, I dont feel that it is that everyone got old and doesn't post anymore, the issue with TA is that they don't integrate their forums well with other platforms (FB, Snap Chat, Instagram) Millennials have no clue about TA and they communicate much differently then we all used to back in 99-05. Around 05 this site started to take a turn for the worst with the advent of FB. For a true EDM fan, TA has many things other sites that I mentioned do not. The part of TA that brought me here originally is still its best product, the track-listing page, there is an amazing archive of some of the best sets from over the last 20+ years

I second that point! Its interesting what the internet did to the scene. On one hand I can get a snapchat or Facebook/live of Sasha and Digweed's reunion gig in the UK, but on the other hand, Im relying on word of mouth from people who were actually at the part to explain how it was, and even that part is difficult bc they usually just respond with a 30 second video without any deeper description.

Its not like there is a lack of material to write thread on....
A good thread that hasn't been started would be, what ever happened to the the supposed Sasha and Digweed reunion tour ? Rumors/ articles throughout the internet stated that after their UK reunion gig , numerous other shows would be scheduled. None of that happened... etc...

my point with all of this is that there are a tremendous amount of topics that can be discussed, the hard part is just getting some of these adhd'd/short attention span millennials to slow down for a minute and put in their input into a discussion forum, I have ideas but who really knows? If there is a marketing wiz on this site, maybe they can chime in
