Time for me to get on my soap box and stfu to those who get annoyed by it. But I have been trying to ascertain why EDM is so damn dead here in America. I'm guessing it's just because most of us don't have the patience to listen to an entire album by Sasha as he loops ethereal beats and synths together. Most of us would rather pop in a Lil' John cd and laugh as he says "yeaaaaah!"

When you go to a club these days in the States you see those damn kandii girls whom I detest. You know, those ones who snorted their prescribed ritalin, jump around shouting "plur!" and chew on their glowsticks. They also tend to look like rejected extras from the movie Party Monster.




That's about as normal looking as they get.

When I go to a club, I generally try to look somewhat classy...





me on the far left, Keri, then Kristy (oh yeah, the KKK is back, and some of us are in black, whoda thunk it?)

If you ask someone to name a trance track, they can only name Sandstorm. Gah! Sandstorm is not the be all and end all of trance! I dunno, it's just kind of annoying to me.

What are your thoughts on this?




funny seems to be a worldwide epidemic

The UK has the same shit so stfu...





and wow so does Germany





and babe you are not classy...

I despise chics like you who go to clubs thinking they have some sort of better right to be there over other people...simply based on the way you dress or your attitude.

YOu have no more right to dance in a club then a clubkid....so give it up...

I can list a hundred reasons why electronic music still hasn't caught on in America, despite the access, but that'd be too much work.

But basically, one difference I notice between us (electronic music fans) and them (pop/hip hop/emo/whatever fans) is that we love our music a lot more than they love theirs. They'll buy the latest CD, play it a few times, and in less than a year they'll stop listening to it either because the band disappears or it's not the "in" thing anymore. However, how many times have you seen someone on these boards talk about digging up old records/CDs (e.g. the Northern Exposure series) and talking about how, even years after they were released, they'll still have a fresh sound? The difference between electronic music fans and mainstream music fans is that we appreciate the music from all the years, while mainstream people only like what's "new" and "fresh."
