Ya, your response to my comments is probably the dumbest thing I've ever read. So I guess we're even. Some of you people read things too literal. You're probably going to read the very first part of this comment and then go quote something that is obviously far more stupid.
I don't know if it's just the culture and way I raised, but exaggeration and sarcasm are heavy aspects of my life and ways of communicating disdain for something.
"Too old for this" isn't literal. I can't believe I have to actually explain myself like I am talking to a 7 year old, but then again, this is the internet; any idiot can log on and let it be known that he is in fact an idiot. "Too old for this" is a cliche comment to represent my disdain for the current EDM scene in Atlanta, specifically of the last couple of years. I've been going to house parties, underground parties and clubs since I was 13 to listen to this music. I've been in an Airplane hangar bay where it was so crowded and so hot, that you were literally stuck to the 8 people surrounding you due to proximity and sweat. And those experiences were still better because at least those 8 people were listening to the music. I don't know. The more I type, the more I guess I do come off as elitist. I don't mean to. Because in the end, I do support people going out and having fun however they can and want.
But let's be realistic for you people acting like complete idiots (or maybe you are just complete idiots and don't actually notice this stuff) but the scene at Opera for these "mega DJs" is fucking horrible. If you even try to argue that, you're just being ignorant and you should stop posting here to stir trouble. Open your eyes and look at the actual crowd. A lot of people are listening to the music. Probably 90%. But that 10% that isn't, they really do rain on my parade. They keep walking back and forth from one spot to the other and back again. And do they politely ask me to move? Nope. They forcefully attempt to walk through me and my friends and the dozens of other people who I can tell are actually in the zone listening to the music.
As for my "mellodramatic" comment. That was intended to be mellodramatic. Once again, my whole point of posting in this thread is to air my grievances against the scene and specifically Opera. Kind of hard to get my point across without exagerrated, sarcastic mellodrama. "My last show" is probably pretty literal in this instance. I don't know how much respect Liquified has for me, don't really care in the end. They don't necessarily need my business, and I sure as hell don't need their respect. Going to Opera is not fun anymore. Do I love the music I hear? Hell yes. Should my love for the music overpower the dozen little annoyances that come up when attending Opera at these events...I wish it did. But in actuality, it's becoming far more clear that just turning up my computer's speakers and hanging out with my friends at my place will be far more enjoyable.
Let me re-iterate, my whole point in this thread is that going to Opera is not fun anymore. I am trying to make a point to Liquified.
I sound like a fucking broken record, but god damn, some of ya'll are acting like idiots. I realize it's not easy to pick up on sarcasm or whatever on the internet, but be realistic for a second. "Too old" at 23? "Name a song" to get entrance?
Liquified:
I don't think spainj had any actual merit or real technique to his theory, once again I think he was just pointing out how he should of expected a large crowd because a lot of page views does correlate to a lot of bought tickets. He probably put about as much thought into his theory as you do in using Opera. Don't take that as an insult. But the fact that you think people support Opera on these surveys is a good sign for Opera is pretty dim. If you found another venue that allowed 18+ and had several bars that was the size of Opera. I'm fairly certain it would be an instant success over that of Opera. Does such a venue exist? It seems less and less likely I guess.
Please read this part: I could very well be wrong and in the minority in my disdain for Opera. But Opera really isn't anything special. Allowing 18+ and the fact that you can squeeze twice as many people as the next venue are what attract these DJs' booking agents. I'll gladly eat my words if there is a noticeable dropoff in attendance if you use a place similar to Opera's capacity with 18+ entrance. In the end though, the EDM scene would be better served if we ditched Opera and those Opera attendees who have no interest in the music and are only there because its Opera.
Either way, I will be at Markus Schulz with fucking bells on, regardless of where he plays.

moments was the Tiësto In Concert dvd. The amount of people, length of time playing, and music just blitzed me. But then, when I actually started going out and realized what that looked like from the inside, I despised it.
