The assertion that it was ruined by white men makes no sense, though, since Thomas Bangalter is white. Regarding Makes's comment though, that's a very crude and uneducated thing to say. The roots of modern dance music are in general very tied to funk, which while still receiving a lot of white influence, was very black music. Actually I've ound that, outside of modern hip-hop, blacks can very rarely be blamed for bad music.

i really dont even need to say anymore if you respond like that lol

I feel that the music industry, corporate wise, is a mafia style unit, run like a family of Cosa Nostra. I've been watching it closely over my twelve years of close involvement with it and it even includes the secret handshakes and brotherhood systems.

This brotherhood is trying to drain as much money from the general population of the world as possible before people in general realise their scam. They realise that more money, in all facets of vice, like drugs, alcohol and sex, comes from bad than good. They have an easy time of promoting bad artists with cheap melodies and expensive clothes than educating the masses to like the good stuff.

Those that do like the good stuff, like classical and opera, are already well trained into handing over their money to these brotherhoods. It's a well rehearsed, well trained, well marketed ploy to get you to keep spending your money on useless bullshit that is easy to make and easy to market.

Recent terrorist money raisers have seen through this ploy and are pirating their DVD's, CD's and Video Games because these products are easier to sell than drugs, have a much lower risk and also carry a much higher profit yield.

So there you have it, simple economics, supply and demand. Pity the new pirate suppliers are stealing away their demand and harvesting their yields.

MWAA-HAAAAHAAAHAAAA!!!

Uh huh...... yeah

Not everyone understands House music; it's a spiritual thing; a body thing; a soul thing

i thought of that when I read your post...

Originally posted by Existo22 Lets face it electronic music has no real mass media presence here in the states as there is no youth oriented marketing... I come from europe where people can get the more accessible electronic stuff on day time radio (Dave Armstrong, Daft Punk e.c.t) and even some of the electro/progressive in the small hours. Here in the states on the other hand this music never appears on tv/day time radio for people to access it. I am sure if they would market it, people would buy it and listen to it. But they don't. Why is that? Just curious what you guys think....

I've wondered that......you go to any store and go to the cds and the "dance" section contains like 10 cds IF that, or if they even HAVE a dance section

I wonder if it really is because hip hop, rock, ect is simply more popular, pushing edm far away from commercial use
quite frustrating is you ask me

The US War on Drugs is the main reason why EDM is not accepted here in the states.

Try telling rap prducers and fans that.

And besides, I don't know if I want it to be aknowledged by the mainstream. Do you think any good will come of it. No, you'll pretty much see what happened to Hip-hop, it started to become Hip-pop. No it's all bullshit. I like it the way it is in America. True, it could be bigger, but blame that on the laws that make it hard to throw events here. I was just reading on my local forum that this band from Hawaii is touring the US, but isn't stopping in Washington State because it is sponsered by Jägermeister, and my state has various anti-drinking laws that deal with promotion of products.

It's like Eminem says: "Nobody listens to techno."
Isn't he from Detroit though?
