Somehow I don't think EDM is really ideal for you mate.

While I feel your post is absolutely idiotic, I do agree that the synth guitar bullshit has always sucked ass and should be purged from existence.

Whilst sometimes those things can be annoying... You pretty much just ruled out every EDM everything EVERYTHING!!

It's funny that you bash on minimal because pretty much all the fresh innovative EDM I've heard in the last few years has either been tech house or somewhat into minimal territory. Otherwise I mostly agree - producers, trance producers especially, are running out of ideas. Seems like it's just the same formula being rehashed again and again. That's mostly why I barely listen to any EDM anymore.

Did it ever occur to you that some people like to make music for their own enjoyment?

thought I'd start a rant about cliché in rock music.

1. Freaking guitar with distortion.. it's been overused for DECADES! Let's get original and start using things like the V-accordion or the glockenspiel.

2. Acoustic drums are getting OLD! The same snare, the same toms, I can't stand it anymore.

3. Intro - verse - chorus - verse - chorus - bridge - chorus - outro. The same old patter over and over. For once I'd like to hear a song with only a bridge. That's it, just a bridge.


I think you get my point. If there's only one thing to ask, it's be for some of those hard hitting melodies that give you chills. Haven't heard one of those in a while. Spot on with the fake guitar thing, though.

Originally posted by aNYthing thought I'd start a rant about cliché in EDM music. feel free to add yours if I missed anything: 1. 303 assseeeeed line - ok, this has got to be the most overused crap like EVAR! 2. Farty bass - SvD got away with it. Prydz turned it into an art form. The rest of the herd followed, trotted by the likes of Alex Morph and AvB himself. Stop. please. all this farty eeelektro shit is funky but quite trite and quite overused. 3. Stutter effect. Wow, BT really left his inprint for like the last 8 - 9 years on the scene since he injected it into EDM mainstream. You know who else used stutter effect (with BT's help)? that's right - N'sync. faaaaagz!!! 4. Matrix Phone Bit Crusher. Ok, it was really cool in Matrix - very digital, dopler-like effect that crunched bits into sub 8-bit territory. Wicked. Not anymore dawg, everyone and their grandmother used it in the track. 5. F*cking nylon guitar samples in trance tracks. It does not sound like a guitar, OK? Play the real thing well, record it or DON'T USE THIS SH!TE! Annoying to f*cking hell! Nothing ruins the track for me faster than a cheesy nylon guitar or any f*cking guitar for that matter in it. Very few tracks done it well because they used REAL guitar. The rest failed miserably. 6. Same friggin chord progression with a different beat and slightly modded arps. Yeah, I know you can play "that choon" 10 different ways - that doesn't mean you should make a track that sounds JUST LIKE IT! Aren't you a cheeky monkey - let's take same chords, create a slightly different arp pattern and voila! Who needs originality anyway. 7. Minimal beeps/bleeps/swooshes farts. Look mate, either finish the goddamn track or don't release this 1/10 finished piece of garbage. Zabiella, Villalobos, oi mates, are you f*cking listening???? (yeah I know they don't care... but minimal sux big time) 8. If you decide to do vocals, at least come up with something more clever than "your eyes/I realize", "your heart/apart", "feel sorrow/tomorrow", etc. cheeze. this one is especially precious: "Time goes by From the point of no return You've gotta be strong enough to learn". well, thank you for such a deep meaningful advice, oh trance yoda! 9. Sad slow strings. Look, this is club music - not a fucking funeral wake. Take this shit to chaimber, it's trite and it's a major downer. Very few can execute it well - Corsten (with Orbit's help). chances are you most certainly can't. so, stop. 10. 16 to 32 to 64 step quantized drum roll for a build up. Stagnant pattern, plaguing trance since 99 (the last time it was fashionable). Ok kids, class dismissed. Now go and create an original music this cranky tallentless hack who hasn't produced anything worthwhile can enjoy (or bash). Now, get off my lawn!

You're not very smart are you? Every genre has its own cliche stuff. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. Simple as that.

And as you talk your shit and are trying (but failing horribly) to be humorous then i'd love to hear some of the music YOU make...

...but I get the feeling though that you're not even a producer. Just here wasting forum space.

If you wanna hear something original in music then create something yourself instead of complaining about what YOU think others over-do or do wrong.

Thanks.
