And I think that applied to the scene in general everybody started loving dance / edm but didnt really understand it and the most obvious thing or easiest thing to understand or misunderstand from it was the drop. Instead of focusing on the story the construction of the song or the set the long hours dancing the vibe etc all they got from it was the drop.
I remember my first year in University I would be playing some Sasha Some Armin some PVD Underworld etc.. And everybody would give me shit for it, they couldnt even handle Bob Sinclar (gimme a break im not has oldschool has you guys I got into the scene in 2005, the begining of the end in my opinion but you guys probably have a better idea), The second year I was renting a house and nobody could stand that type of music... they just didnt get it or took the time to get it. Its not untill I started putting stuff like the reward is cheese or wtf chicken or things that were quick and uncomplicated with a very obvious drop and melody. And all of a sudden around campus Daft Punk alive would be playing Everybody was getting on the Deadmau5 train Pryda was starting to get played around. I remember thinking o shit the scene is growing and then all of a sudden Tim Berg turned into Avicii, Dubstep came along and Sweedish house just put the nail in the coffin and just turned a dance set into a top 40 Aux rouge.
New England didnt even make it to long nights of pacing yourself and going through different stages throughout the night and letting themselfs be transported by the dj.
They went from listening to Johny Cash, O.A.R. and singing Sweet Caroline, by the fire shooting handguns to raging with their cock out stuffing ''molly'' down their throat for an hour with pretty lights and Zeds Dead and then passing out.

even steve angello, who i despise, used to make good music (good refs with sinclar, early deadmau, prydz, etc)

remember woz not woz? straight up DISCO house, real house music, made from the same guy who did SAVE THE WORLD and lets not forget where prydz started (callll on meeeeee)

I want to be on record here, and confirm that I did want to transfer modship to Max more than a few times but was denied by Swamper... I don't know what to do literally.

EDM is not underground anymore, everyone talks about it everywhere, this forum lost its original purpose.
