"Two kinds" doesn't mean "only two kinds", as far as i know. But perhaps it does have such a connotation.

You have not yet been taken into consideration for inclusion in the list. As a courtesy you will, in strict compliance with organizational policy, be notified of a possible inclusion no longer than two months after the decision has been ratified by the board.

Organizational policy is subject to change.

I've just been told C^NTmau5 is skinny

To woscar:

Ya I like ATB...and? I don't feel shamed into liking everything except trance like most of the users around here. And yes, I have seen Ableton. That is all.

This is a huge reason Prydzy doesn't like his sets to be recorded. The idea that people will hear his music in crap quality is bad enough, much less when they press it to vinyl and sell it at a 6th generation quality.

The density of people and how they can't hear that is amazing to me.

It was just a simple statement with a "most likely" included. If you think about it - it is probably true. The vast majority of music listeners are not musically savvy, hence why genre's like pop/dance are mainstream. They have simple melodies that are catchy, combined with some nice pleasing lyrics. It is not complex; i.e., exactly what a lot of people look for in music. It is Something they can sing to/hum to, etc.

In addition, the vast majority of people do not listen to high quality music, for one reason or another. My point was that I would assume the 2 populations overlap significantly.

The statement has nothing to do with deduction - it is merely anecdotal, and without implied causation. So of course, hating bad quality music does not mean that you think deadmau5 sucks, just as much as liking bad quality music does not mean that one enjoys deadmau5.


Cliff notes:
1) Majority of music listeners listen to simple music
2) Majority of music listeners listen to low quality music
3) Populations probably overlap significantly

Most EDM isn't any more complex than a typical pop song. It's kind of a laugh when people who listen to trance, house, and techno make fun of pop listeners for liking "simple" music.

Ya I agree completely. But at least it has a lot of production skill behind it that can be appreciated (well, some at least)

This is the first deadmau5 thread I've ever found worthwhile of reading.

I've heard you say that a few times and it galls me.

Good electronic music may be simplistic structurally, but it's subtle and detailed in ways that pop and rock will never achieve.

I'm not saying that pop compares to the very best and most detailed electronic stuff. I'm just talking about your *typical* straight ahead dance tunes that make up the majority of releases. Something like the tracks discussed in this thread, for example:
