Yeah, I think those are the biggest ones :P

Yeah most of it is usually along the lines of:
"Ravers taking X wearing big bright pants and glo sticks, your one of those then right?"

And

"It sounds like nintendo music"

darkSIde has spoken...

All that music is is "Boom boom boom" anyway. Apparently.

Well, to the ear of someone who never listens to electronica, it may seem repetitive.

"It all sounds the same"

I hate it when people say that. If they're in my room I have them listen to some Chicane followed by Ferry Corsten - Punk. That sure sounds the same

Now that I think about I've seen worse. I was at a dance once and the DJ was playing Nelly - Hot In Here. Everyone was bump 'n grinding, blah blah blah. Next he puts on some trance tune I've never heard before, but I must admit it had a great beat and people started going wild. However, a group of slutty girls came over to the DJ and one of them said, "Hey, can you turn this techno crap off? You can't dance to this stuff!"

I don't post here much but this thread made me want to post.

So about the stereotypes, I am plain sick of them.
I am Asian but I know the difference a quality track and a piece of crap 3 minute cheesefest made by "Dj Random Fancy Name."

The thing is, being Asian here in Houston, when people ask what kind of music I listen to, I say electronic dance music. However, electronica here is nothing but a bunch of cheesy breakbeat remixes of Dj Sammy, Lasgo, etc.

Most Asians here listen to Dj Sammy - heaven and say it's great while I show them tracks like Armin Van Buuren - Burned with Desire and they say it's pure crap because, according to them, "it ain't fly." Idiots.

Well they are just plain ignorant. DrummeRaver told me about this kid in our school who claimed EDM was so easy to make, and DrummeRaver snapped back at him (this kid plays guitar in a band) that a guitar is simply a piece of wood with string attached to it
