I didn't want for it to come to this. I've been listening to dance music for the last eight years---trance for the first three and house for the last five. While I'm sure this isn't quite as long as some of you TA vets, by God I am absolutely TIRED of hearing the same beat over and over every time I go out. I realize that house music is an inherently repetitive genre, and about every two weeks another person gets on here and talks about how it's become stale, so I guess it's just my turn.

The last handful of times I've gone out to see DJs here in New York, I've left within the first hour or so when I used to stay and dance until 4 in the morning. I recently turned 25. Maybe part of getting older is becoming jaded. Nowadays, three songs into a DJ's set, I know exactly what it'll sound like for the next four hours.

I'm not even crazy about dubstep. I hate about 98% of it, but at least for the time being it's something different. Blah.

why constrain yourself to one genre in the first place?

Genres aren't political parties. You can listen to dubstep without "opposing" or "rejecting" house. You can listen to house or techno without rejecting trance. And hey, you can even listen to classical without rejecting pop, or rock without rejecting dance music.

Though to listen to some people, you wouldn't know it. The battle lines are drawn, guys, now choose a side!

For you people who complain about complainers, I'd say it's my taste that limits me to a handful of genres; not my prejudice. I'm pretty much 75% trance with 15% getting muddy with prog this and prog that, 9% stuff like Way Out West and slow "edm" songs (like Tri-State), but there's only 1% rock on my ipod. Bush - Warm Machine would be an example. It's not purposely, though I do influence it indirectly -- I know that I mostly only like trance/prog so that's all I search for.

In the end, you could always search for classics that you've never heard before. A month ago I heard Dirty Sticky Floors (Junkie XL Remix) for the first time and that peaked my interest for a while.

Son, you have not yet begun to know what being jaded is.
