Well, I think your attitude is a bit exaggerated, I disagree with it.
For me personally, partying/clubbing is always a social experience, if the people are just standing there and aren't interested in dancing with others (as was the case when I went to see PvD this past weekend), then that's not a very nice or fun party...
I remember, there people were doing anything BUT dancing, by the way... and those that were, were doing it by themselves... not fun at all

i don't mean people that go to clubs to enjoy the music just sit in the corner. No, they are dancing around having fun with other people. But too many loser clubs have losers that go there not because they care what type of music is playing but because they just want to get with someone. Rarely at looser top 40 clubs do people go because they respect the music. No, they could care less what's playing that's why the dj's get away with going from ATB to bon jovi which should be illegal!

Well, but you have to remember that a lot of people LIKE and ENJOY top-40 stuff, in fact I would say that MOST people really like to hear famous top-40 stuff like Darude, Fragma, Zombie Nation, Alice Deejay, "Castles in the sky," etc. When I go to these "college-night" clubs I see a lot of people singing along to these top-40 hits and really dancing the night away in ecstasy.

In defense of this I have to admit that when you play too much obscure or underground stuff that the majority of people don't know or care for, that's not a very good idea... When these kids come to a club, your job as a DJ is to make them feel good.

I really do see what you are saying. I think that the dj is only good if he makes the crowd feel good. I guess I just wish that more people could appreciate other music than what you hear everyday on the radio. I'm also picky because I never pursued music as much as I do now and I use to be more prone to going to clubs because I liked to listen to familiar music. Now I found that there's a whole land of new music that I've never experienced so why deny experiencing the unheard, new sounds.

just a little off topic, that's why i really enjoy going to clubs and listening to sets that are 90% progressive trance. it's hard to find such clubs, but it's nice when you do cause there's a nice split between ppl on the dancefloor and ppl on the 'bench'. both are enjoying themselves equally tho cause you can chill to the prog sound as well as move to it. that's my opinion anyway. just thought i'd mention that for the hell of it.

Two clubs:

One Trance, and the another one plays shit.
