I try to not let them simply because of how I know it will get into a discussion about the differences in various forms of EDM and all the complexity and how it's not all the same boring shit.

to be honest there's a lot of simple bad classical music too, most people just listen mozart, wagner, strauss and such

i think tracks like 'quietman - the sleeper' can easilly be musically and arrangement wise better than some of the worse classical tracks. i mean just because you have tempo changes doesn't make the track more musical.

Maybe it's different for you yanks but it's really not that uncommon to listen to EDM 'round here.

Except that I barely listen to it nowadays. Nor would I let anyone shove my headpieces to their ears anyway.

Some of the responses I get are: "Are you listening to that techno shit?" [me listening to some eurodance] "Is this a new track by Benni Benassi / Basshunter?" "What is the difference between techno and trance (or other combinations)?" "It all sounds the same" [I love proving them wrong, and seeing the awe and shock when I correctly ID a track from 1-3 second sample - chosen by them] 99% of people I've met think that all electronic music is techno, all of it, Tiestos, Basehunters, Deadmice, Guettinas, etc So many clueless fucks out there, its a terrible shame. So many people I know who hate techno yet they dont know anything about it.They cant name ONE or even TWO techno artists.

+1!!!!!!

all i really get is "wow that is some weird shitty music you should listen to lady gaga that is real music".

I got a great one when driving some friends and had (non-vocal) Trance playing in my car.
"I didn't know you listened to classical music."

I burst out laughing and almost drove off the road.

Then stop coloring and visit Meat187's mix archive!

everyone i know listens to trance

I actually get it pretty bad since I live in an igorant town. Sometimes in class in the morning when theres no teacher I play it through my cell phone and I usually get "Turn that shit off", and when I have to explain the difference between techno and trance I get "Who cares it's all the same shit, some guy pushing a button over and over, anyone can make that shit", some people are just extremely ignorant. Then, in this stupid town the people that DO listen to EDM think Basshunter is god and Lady Gaga is queen of techno.

I am getting the fuck out of this place ASAP, just gotta finish 1 more year of high school

the best comment i got recently was a few days ago when we were driving, it was a long haul (for no reason might i add, and i was doing my friend and his girlfriend a huge favor). so of course i came prepared w/ mixes and what not. about 2 1 hr long mixes in, she goes "dude we've been listening to the same song on repeat for the entire drive"

I get that so often as well. I'll lend people my ipod, and they coming back talking about how there is no way someone could ever make one song 120+ minutes long or so.

that's actually a good comeback
if someone says "how can you listen to this, it doesnt have any words?"

you say

"neither does classical music and that does pretty well for itself"
