EDM Haters!
So does this ever happen to you?
You're driving somewhere blasting your favorite track minding your own business. Then some asshole(s) pull up next to you and start pointing and laughing because of the music you're listening to! It drives me f*cking crazy!
Now mind you... I live in Athens, Ga. So the only accepted music is rap or jam bands... Eww... I f*cking hate jam bands.
I just hate how people don't/won't accept my music because it's not some guy rapping about Money, Big Butts and, Drugs. As soon as they hear that 4 on the Floor kick pattern, they just call it bad music and walk away. Why can't people just be more Open Minded?
Now I'm not going to say that there is not a FEW rap songs I like. Lupe Fiasco has excellent music, because he doesn't sing about the same old money and drugs thing.
I'm also not going to say that I'm not impressed by the musician's talent in jam bands. They are actually really good. I just don't want to hear a f*cking one hour guitar solo!
BUT PLEASE!!!
GIVE DANCE MUSIC A CHANCE!!!
I know the way EDM is made is not your traditional playing a Oboe or plucking a guitar. But it still takes talent to write our music. There is just as much thought and emotion put into a Dance track then there is put into a beautiful rock ballad.
Does this happen to anyone else? Or maybe you share the same feelings as I do. If so, I'd love to hear about it.
