I've been listening to R&B, Hip hop, Rock, and Top 40 lately
Yes, you read that title right. The person who used to talk so much sh*t about that kind of music, doesn't listen to EDM much anymore.
I don't know if it's because the EDM that I've been hearing the past couple of years just sucks, or if I'm just tired of the scene (or both), but I've been listening to the radio a lot lately, and I'm actually enjoying it.
Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of garbage on the radio, but after listening to more R&B, hip hop, rock, and top 40 lately... I feel a new sense of life. I'm actually hearing songs about things that are going on in my life right now... or things that I want to be going on in my life... and I feel like I can relate to a lot of the songs.
With EDM, I almost feel like it was pulling wool over my eyes. I would sort of "escape" into the music and escape from problems (ie money, career, health, etc) rather than dealing with them (if that makes any sense). I would listen to EDM, and just hours would go by, and when I turned the music off, I would come back to reality without accomplishing anything.
Even though I still like some EDM (older stuff), I've actually sort of built an animosity towards it. I kind of associate it with drugs. For example, the last time I went to an EDM club (not going to mention a venue), I stayed completely sober all night, maybe 1 or 2 drinks. I had one acquaintance come up to me and tell me these exact words: "You only live once, do some drugs so you can have more fun. You're so lame. You're not an old lady". A couple other acquaintances (same night), told me I looked bored and offered to sell me pills. If one more person came up to me and told me I should take drugs, I was going to go off!!
I just don't enjoy going to these clubs/events anymore. It's so unmotivating to be around drugs all night. I've been in this scene for almost 9 years now, and I think I'm done (maybe go out if it's a special event).
I felt like I had to make a thread about this. The main thing that concerns me is the friends I have made throughout the years. I don't want to lose my friends because I'm not into the scene/music anymore.  I want to go out and support my friends (whether they are DJ's or promoters), but at the same time, I don't have it in me to go out every other weekend like I used to.
Well, that's all.
