Interestingly there hasn't been anyone from Holland to reply to this.
If there's any country without age limit to EDM it's Holland
You can see people of all ages there, I just love it, and I'll definetly move there when I get 1st chance

As a 38 year old i could take offense to that

Also, tell that to some of the big name DJ's (i.e. PvD, Oakenfold, Sasha, Digweed, Carl Cox, etc). They are near 40 as well.

Hey Neo, think you'll still be spinning 10 years from now?

Personally though, i have yet to go to a club and hear these well known DJ's spin, but given the chance, i would go see them. You would probably find me in one of the corners just mellowing to the music (no chemicals needed, unless it was beer )

It's not about physical age, it's about your frame of mind.

Disco and classical had sex while watching a sci-fi movie. Their child: trance.

i remember not so long ago, i was at a club and this old man was on stage shaking his groove thang.


didn't take long to notice, they stop the music, shine a huge spot light on him. and they dj is all like, "someone tell Mr Rogers to get off the stage."

so embarassing. kind of wanted to feel sorry for him, but i was too busy laughing my ass off.

Clearly the dj in this club was a f**king as**ole !!!
Can you imagine Sasha or Markus Schulz or Armin dipping the music
to abuse a member of the crowd, erm no.

I am 34years old, I still go out as much as poss, most of my club
buddies are 10-12years younger than me but we never even think about
it. Last time I went out I stood next to Armin singing with him to
"NoOne On Earth" clearly HE doesn't feel like there's an age limit
for clubbers enjoying themselves

OK, that was a terrible thing to do to anyone.

Who was the dj? I wanna remember so I never go and listen to his sets.

What a turd!

screw that.

most ppl who listen to trance out west are older people from asia. not all, but many of the caucasians in bc here are little 15-18 year old raver kids who only come out to get high.

i say, no age limit.


you're never too old to love the music you love.

Since when is there an age limit on electronic music???? Sure, ya may not want to go to clubs when you are older, but the music still stays.

If that is what you think...and others...You may want to re visit the reason you are passionate about the music...no??

___________________
I just do it exactly the way I enjoy listening to it. This is most of the time it is with banging beats. It is even with a soft thing, a soft melodic idea, or whatever. I still like to have it rocking. Keep in mind what this music is made for, first of all. Its not made to be easy listening on the radio. Its not made to be easy listening in television. Its actually kick ass in the club. This is what music is. This is the purpose of this art form...to listen to it and let the frequencies actually blow you away. --Paul Van Dyk

Ok, I am really not sure what to think about some of those posts. I am in the older age group and still enjoy going out. A couple of things to note, based on some of the posts...
Just because someone goes to a club does not mean the person is dropping anything or being irresponsible. No matter what their age. Please don't assume everyone involved with EDM is doing drugs... just not true.

Another point... most EDM is made for club play, I personally would hate to hear my favorite songs just on a CD. I want to hear it big, see the crowd react , and dance my butt off! If I am into the music, my age isn't going to change that.

The comment about DJ's retiring... I found that interesting, I know that some have retired and others will also, but when you hit 40 you don't have to pack up your decks and go home. Being a musician is part of who you are, NOT just a job. It doesn't go away just because the current crowd at the club is younger instead of the same age as you.

So in responce to the original question... YES take your friend to see any DJ that you guys like. I am sure most TA's will welcome him in as a fellow music lover. No one has ever been rude to me or my husband, and we felt just fine being up front by the speakers. In fact I am sure I have seen several of you TA's at various shows.... Those of you who feel uncomfortable around older adults need to realize that you are an adult... the sooner you get over judging people on exteriors, the more you will enjoy life.

EDM unifies a whole culture throughout our world... regardless of age, race, location, personal style...

Originally posted by b4k-oz I go to EDM clubbs from time to time and sometimes I feel like all weird, especially when I see ppl there that look old or out of place (most of the time it's the way they are dancing and acting) What do you guys think? Can older people fit in with EDM? How old is too old? How do you guys react to them? I'd like to hear the positives and the negative.

You can never be too old! How old is old to you? Why should people not be able to go out and enjoy good music just because someone views them as older? Should you be stuck at home once you turn a certain age? Of course not! Someone "older" being out enjoying music should be no different than someone that is younger...they both enjoy the sound of trance. They didn't have music like this when they were younger so give them a break and enjoy the knowledge that something like trance music can bridge a generation gap.


Also...remember that a lot of the DJ's and artists that you are listening to are in their 30's and some are even older than that. Should they just stop making music when they hit a certain age? If they are good...I hope not.
