I'll tell you how much America knows about dance music.

This weekend I participated in a church camp game in which we all stood in a circle. A person in the middle shouted a trait they had, and everyone that had that trait was to run to another spot in the circle. I screamed "I'm a DJ!!!" and noone even twitched.

I've asked probably 100 different people in the course of my highschool years "Do you know who Tiësto is?" and I think around 2 people have said yes. They then followed with "Yeah! As The Rush Comes was my favorite track from him!"





America needs a dance music revolution and fast.

Everything said in here for the most part so far, has been highly generalized. Compared to Germany/Holland/France, it is definitely lightyears behind in terms of EDM exposure. However, this is an approximation of the WHOLE of North America. Metropolitan hubs such as San Francisco/LA/Miami/NYC/Boston are as up to date about EDM as anywhere else in the world.
On the contrary, MOST Americans don't get what trance is all about.

And now we get to the root of the problem. Americans see this as a bad thing. This is in fact the reason that the tension reaches such high points in the game. It builds over so many possessions and losses until it explodes in a single score. Americans just don't have the patience to wait that long.


What he said!

There's a word that sums up this sort of behaviour, and that word is 'reject.'

This is all bullshit. What would happen if China's favourite DJ is announced? An overall reputation of a DJ is concerned but more importantly, it is up to individuals to state their favourite genre and DJ. America loved PvD and Tiesto but I don't know if Armin has his great reputation in USA as he does in East world.
