I know that there are very negative opinions of the edm scene in america but I'm beginning to get EXTREMELY frusturated with the masses view of our scene, I just saw a commercial, not quoting directly but almost accurately, father to son..."jack and the beanstalk, a talking harp? ha! jack must have been on drugs? so tell me son, have you ever been to a rave?" WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT??? along with the damn "bah bah blacksheep" commercial. I'm sure the majority of us in America have seen this bullshit! I'm speachless right now and soooo angry that now it's not even just "watch out for those Ecstacy parties" but saying, "drugs...those are done at raves" FUCK AMERICA! I know that the government has been going after our edm scene for some time now but that is ridiculous, I don't see them putting out commercials such as..." Son, just because all the other kids at the Bone Thugs show were smoking weed doesn't mean you should". If this post seems a bit rushed and not very well thought out I hope you can realize how pissed off I am at the moment, furthermore, I'm interested to know if other countries governments are trying to discriminate your music scene in a similar manner?

You obviously don't watch TV often enough, do you? I see those exact commercials with parents talking to their kids about pot all the time.

Oh, and welcome to Pop culture.

People ... uhh ... err ... do take drugs at raves.

I know they do and I have participated in such....I guess it's just been so long and my state of mind towards the situation has changed I'm offended by such a commerical...and yes I watch t.v. a decent amount but I don't tend to see these commercials all too often.This one just struck a bad chord with me...Having not been involved with any drugs in the past couple years I can look at our scene and see there is a drug problem but I guess my frusturation is, why isn't there emphasis on any other music scene's drug problems? (I guess we're just an easy target)

Because the other scenes are part of the Pop scene. People are well-aware of these problems, but major record labels will always continue to push the items that are selling, no matter how bad the scene is for those certain genres.

people that have no direction in life take drugs.

ever been to NYC? LA? Chicago? Miami?

NYC has fallen off a bit but surely out did any club in any country in the 1990s. With clubs like Twilo, Tunnel, Limelight, Shelter and tons of other lesser known spots.

Bring back 1994 NYC clubbing nights, cus the sh*t today is filled with junk parties and DJs that play sh*t House.....Zabiela, Sander, or Howells and all the rest suck and couldnt throw a night like it was in the early 90s in NYC!!!...Screw Twilo - give me Limelight circa 1993!!!
