I have it bookmarked

And I didn't post the video to say "OMG look its obviously the shit", just pointing out to that dude who says people dont go nuts to it.

People go nuts to ANYTHING if you put it in the right context.

all ill say is minimal never appealed to me. i like my music rich and full of of sounds, and although alot of minimal tracks have great little sounds that have potential most of it feels empty to me. i realize thats the point, but it just doesnt do anything for me

Also, I encourage everybody to go attend a music event with genres of music you may not particularly be fond of. Often times it's been the case for me where I'm not too into a certain style of music, but once I've heard it spun out I make a total 180 on my decision. The same can be said about music I like at home and then hear out and go, "Meh" to.

For example, I used to not enjoy Minimal at all. I attended a fourm-room event back in November. One room was Psy, one was House, one was Breaks and Dubstep, and the other was Minimal. I ended up spending most of the night in the Minimal room and it hurt like hell to walk the next day because I hadn't danced so much in ages. And no, it wasn't your improperly-labeled Tech House, it was Berg Nixon and Geoff White, accompanied by three local DJs. Ever since then the only parties I've found myself dancing my ass off at have been those involving true Minimal.

My point is, don't bash something simply off of hearing it from your bedroom. Your bedroom is what Chillout/Downtempo are perfect for, not danceable club music. That type of stuff is meant for a large system with a large crowd. Go experience something live before you completely write it off.

it's so trendy to make ignorant comments such as "minimal is all about bleeps n beeps."

Just because a track is labeled as 'minimal' on Beatport, doesn't make it 'minimal'. This is probably the biggest factor in mislabeling a genre for people. Sites like Beatport or Audiojelly and so on and so forth are just labeling tracks in any genre just to sell them. It's funny to see the same tracks on 2 different labels both with a different genre labeling.

My suggestion, stop worrying about what genre the track you are listening to falls under. If you like it, then what the hell else matters?

Decent crowd to say the least. A few seconds of excitment when the bleeps and blops reach maturity and then its back to "i cant believe im dancing to this shit" thoughts, which leads to "at least im daft at the moment."

Some Minimal is good earphone music though, cant totally diss it, but those tracks are far and few between. I like some Gui Borrato, Trentemoller, Gabriel Ananda, Minilogue, Audiofly, Extrawelt, Paul Kalkbrenner, Ame, Loco Dice and Radioslave stuff though.

Most of what you apparently label as "minimal" isn't really minimal at all.

That's what he's saying.

Yeah I'll fuckin' dance to anything, but I won't enjoy minimal as much as, say, dubstep or jungle. I go mad skankin' stylee to that stuff.

Anyway, most of the people in that crowd are probably too fucked up on substances to realise how shit the music really is.

You could say that about just about any genre of music

Actually every artist I named creates Minimal music. They're the few quality Minimal Tech House / Minimal Techno there is...and not purely Blip Blop Crap shiet. Neither he or you know what your saying though...

Unless you think that genre is God's gift to man when you're sober.
