When you go to a club these days in the States you see those damn kandii girls whom I detest. You know, those ones who snorted their prescribed ritalin, jump around shouting "plur!" and chew on their glowsticks. They also tend to look like rejected extras from the movie Party Monster.




Music is about music. It shouldn't be about how you look, what race you are, or how new the club is. Good music should make people dance and forget about all the other bullshit in life.

Krysta_101 what you said is crass.


Your attitude Krysta_101 is central to understanding the cultural problems in the mainstream club culture; which is an emphasis on image rather than music.


Thus the reason why underground parties are so central to EDM. Underground eliminates all the bullshit which is dear to mainstram clubs ( i.e. image and location)


If you want good music in some pompous and crass enviroment good luck because its a pompous and crass enviroment for a reason.




P.S.


The clubs in Chicago ( in my understanding) , aside from Vision and Sound Bar, have a primary focus on creating a scene and image foremost.95% of the clubs/lounges in Chicago don't care for music. They appeal to the masses ( i.e. what to do or how to appear to make a $$$)

Its all the same bullshit every year. A club gets hyped up in Chicago because it new or because xyz people go there to party. It plays shit music but its 'trendy'.


Like CT Princeess said the HEART of Chicago is Underground.

Ummm, most djs don't dress like kandii ravers. And why is everyone focusing on just one part of the whole statement? It's growing rather tiresome rather quickly.

Because your initial claim was so patently absurd and we called you on it.
To be honest i don;t know what your other point is.
