Haha, well I thought the whole idea of a forum like this was to learn stuff from eachother. I'm happy to share knowledge...
Well one thing I did learn was that tracks are usualy a bit longer than my usual 4 mins. Suppose they need to fit on a vinil at some stage and a DJ needs a bit of room to play when mixing it in.
Music is as universal to people as breathing. We've probably been at it since before we even started talking. Immaging two cavemen smashing away at a peace of flint to make a spearhead. It wouldn't take long for them to learn te synchronise the sound. And there you have it, the words first percussive band.
Music has survived wars, famines, the plague and many other things and has evolved with man across many cultures. Dance music is just the next step in the evolutionary chain. My guess is that it will probably be with us untill we are extinced.

Remix: You have the original elements from the original track (either as rendered audio or the actual project data/presets/samples), and you put them together differently.
Reproduction: You have nothing, and you're trying to recreate the sound from a track you heard.
Remixes are much easier than reproductions, but they also tend to spark more creativity, because with a reproduction, too much time is often spent on just trying to recreate the original sound elements (whereas in a remix, the focus is really on warping and playing around with those sound elements).

Oh right,
So if you want to practice tweaking a synth then it would be a good thing to reproduce a track or two.

Sure, if that's your thang. I prefer to spend my time making music as opposed to tweaking synths.
