Yes, I think all the elitists here should just shut themselves up. Is it so difficult for you to just passively let your favorite genre of music get shredded and mass-marketed? I don't see what the problem is.

Originally posted by memusa right...but labeling everything that's played on GDJB as mcprog is inaccurate.

No, I totally agree. It's factually incorrect to say everything on GDJB is McProg. It isn't. I listen to GDJB sets from DJs I like. But that doesn't diminish the fact that the majority of what Markus plays each week in his own sets falls into that category.

Relativism has limits. It's true that there are differences in taste. But that does not mean there is no such thing as objective quality. If that were the case, then even "the elite" here would not be able to agree on what is good and what isn't. But that's not the case; very often those with more experience in trance have similar opinions, as is the case with McProg and ASOT.

WOW. Thanks Massive!

is it so difficult for you understand that people are enjoying what they are doing? i being one of em. like i have said in some previous posts if you dont like it, is it so hard for you to move on and find something you do like? there lies you're problem. i dont have the problem, you apparently do.

if you go to a party, and you dont like the atmosphere, do you stay and make everyone who is enjoying themselves miserable? or, do you leave and find a party that is more suited for you?

I really don't bash anyone anymore about Tracklists because its really the DJ's preference. I simply won't listen if I don't like it. Secondly, I think people are kinda pissed in the direction Markus went. I mean GDJB used to be fresh and great progressive. Ever since Markus hooked up with Armin on Armada its like Markus' productions weren't so special anymore and the songs he plays are not original anymore. I liked Markus' style about a year ago, then he just got up and changed, and it lost my interest. I just wish DJ's nowadays would stick to their guns and do it their way instead of changing because they get bored. I think "boredom" is the dumbest mask of an excuse because I think most DJ's just change to what everyone else is playing so they gain popularity. (ie: Schulz)

I think people should stop refering to it as Mcprog, Its very insulting to those producers, Who work there asses off day and night providing some great tunes, Calling this McProg, Is like someone calling certain types of trance, Cheese, Personally, I think its unfair and unruly to stereotype this music, For all I care, Its still progressive, Whether its has a trance or house vibe thrown into it.

When i first started listening to gdjb about a year and half ago, markus's sets were really drawing me in. He played awesome tunes like sultan and tonedepth's remix of valentino's flying. His sets about two year ago are nothing like what it is now. probspot does make good tunes but they really do sound the fucking same. its a shame that most djs change styles but markus's style has certainly changed against my taste.

SO yes about two years ago, markus was definitely playing some good prog.With all taht being said, for all of you ******s who label the music he plays as mcprog, thats the equivalent to all the ignorant people who label edm as techno and cheese. YOu guys really are a bunch of hypocrites. If you don't like it, don't listen to it.

When will this annoying, elitist and trite attitide stop? For example I can't listen to Goa/Hardstyle/Hardcore garbage, but you don't see me whining about it in every thread. You don't even see me put my intolerance into my sigs or avatars. If you don't like it, don't fucking listen to it! There are plenty of people who like it and your girlish bitching and moaning will only annoy the fuck out of the others and show how close-minded you are.

Now let me put on some of that good ole "mcprog". I love that stuff.

You are absolutely right about that, There are certain styles music that I hate, But you never see me post my hatred about them on the boards, Thats something that should be kept personal and private.
