Maybe we have different definitions of "trolling".

Thats trolling.

It also would show that you have no knowledge of what house is, or what electro is, or what "electro-house" is, because neither of those genres are exclusively percussion.

you have a god-given gift in making melodies? or was born biologically enchanced in making music?
If you said no and yet still produce good music.. then chances are that you worked at your craft, which i feel is a much more reasonable answer than "talent".
wiseasses always have to say something smart.

k, so if I said I'm not musically inclined and even if I worked at it, I'd still be shit. Does that make it ok?

I mean look at Mike and L-Vee, they have been overusing the same melodies for years and recycling the same ol crap but yet people don't accuse them of being talentless.

maybe i made myself unclear.
Refering to this Definition of Talent:
Natural endowment or ability of a superior quality.
alls im saying is the idea of 'talent' is Fictitious, because it is basically implying that someone is better at something than most at birth.. if that makes any sense.
Either way almost all EDM (or all music in general) is recycled.

and finally, who says what is shit music and what isnt?? I mean if you work hard at making music and you are happy with the results, who cares if people say its shit? Unless you are trying to make a living off music you should be producing the music that is deep inside you, whatever that may be, instead of conforming and following rules and standards set by previous artists whether they are EDM or not.
And if you STILL are unhappy with your music because it is so out there and different, then go back to be another generic, nameless, faceless EDM producer.
I guess what im saying here is.. all music has been done before, unless you are about to do it for the first time.

oh.. and sorry for the threadjack

First of all, I never said electro-house was exclusively percussion (I said ALMOST--there's a difference you know), secondly, I'm QUITE familiar with House, your assumptions notwithstanding.

Thank you for confirming that my statement had nothing to do with trolling.

You appear to have been misled. Everyone is "naturally" better at some things than others. Genetics play a huge role in our ability to do certain things. Talent in this sense is certainly not fictitious. I suggest you reconsider this point of view.

They arent almost exclusivly percussion either.

Electro often is much less percussion based than trance, or what have you.

Out of curiosity, could you name me some of your favourite electro artists, and house artists as well?

Well Genetics is a whole grey area to even scientists. All i know is that if I worked in music, I wouldn't let something silly like "talent" and Genetics (no quotes) get in the way of me being the best I can. Maybe I say this all because I am a Competetive person (something you can blame on Genetics).
