Dj?

Given that most "DJ" use laptops and few even have records, should we retire the word "DJ" and use something else? When records were around, you actually needed to jockey a disc. Same goes for a CD. But when everything is programmed into a laptop, what exactly is being jockeyed?

VJ ?

Most DJ kids today don't even know what the name stands for.

It's just a name, there's no need to get neurotic about it.

Well, Wiki has a nice explanation:

quote:
A disc jockey (also known as DJ or deejay) is a person who selects and plays recorded music for an audience. Originally, disk referred to phonograph records, while disc referred to the Compact Disc, and has become the more common spelling. Today, the term includes all forms of music playback, no matter the source.

And there still are discs at the midi controlers which often are connected with the laptops:
