I think it's dead for good this time!

yup,


basically its were hard house was in 1999, hard trance in 2003 .....
Everyone is doing the same thing with the same synth using the same signal chain. They took it too far with the annoying sounds, then they made house hard style somehow and fuck, i mean , never has a genre been just well, there is nothing in what they call house that could be considered house in any way what so ever. I mean nothing.

basically once you start getting the actual genre in the track like , you are listening to electro, its 1 year post mortem. Thats kinda the rule of thumb. tracks that reference their genre are pretty much the dead canary surrounded by dead miners all naked and buff.

I mean it's kinda true but shouldn't have house died in 1985 by that logic? Gimme that house music all night long and stuff.

yup , that style of house died. People kept on doing it for 10 more years but it was so pointless. They were just doing it either the same or worse. So ya, if i hear some asshole release a track and have some gay church singer and then some asshole talking about jack, water bottle to head of dj.

every genre moves on. Thats the point. the problem is some people can only do one thing. And they just don't get the fucking hint.

like this was completely on the other end of the spectrum. you would only hear this in those parts of europe that were once communist.



couldn't find one that is identical but ya, its hilarious. i mean except for slightly cleaner mixes ...

fuck i just picked a random compilation. it is too funny.


and this was when that genre was just sucking so hard in like 2005.

You say this, but true house just doesn't quit.

It's the bullshit gimmicky stuff that doesn't last.

Hard house was around for years (which was faster, somewhat darker house) but the moment it went all hoovers, horns and wasps in a jar, it died within two years.

Garage - same thing. Massive underground movement from about 1992 onwards. Speed garage suddenly rears it's ugly head in about 1997 and it's dead within 3 years.

Trance. Around for what, 15 years? Then as soon it goes all SystemF and the dutch sound etc, it's on the ropes after a couple of years.

All these original sources (house, trance, garage, etc) are around and even thriving in their pure forms - it's the sub-genre, homogeneous dross that dies, and good riddance.

House will always be around and always popular. Those who say house is dead only have the perspective of thinking that Avicii, Calvin Harris (etc) is house and somehow it's meant to be implicitly tied to them. when it's not. Their particular cheesey subgenre and ilk will die, and house itself will always remain.

Why? Because 4/4 rhythms at that BPM are as old as man, and man likes to get down.

that genre of house.

disco died. then people used parts and something new came from it. thrash metal died. Everything runs its course and then people use bits form it and innovate. Thats how art works. so yes, the house from that era stopped being made because there was no point.

The kids are disco dancing
They're tired of rock and roll
I try to tell them "hey that drum machine ain't got no soul"
But they don't want to listen no
They think they've heard it all
They trade those guitars in for drum machines and disco balls
We can't rewind now we've gone too far
Internet killed the video star

They aren't dancing tho. They jump and flail.
