Do you get instantly protective, aggressive and pretty-damn-much annoyed?
I know some of you go like that if Prodigy is insulted (but how will you then describe their new album? ), and it happens to me if someone insluts Shpongle, or BT.
i get annoyed when people bash edm, when they listen to commercial hiphop or pop or something like that. its fine with me if people just dont like it and have heard it. but ignorant people who bash "video game music" etc piss me off. but then i wonder..why be angry? to each his own...and its alot better to chuckle to my self knowing that im cooler than that person for not being such a sheep. thats better than arguing about something you will not win.
errr i mean engage in stimulating debate over the issue.... yes thats it

It's damn near impossible for me to be non-angry when people say stuff like "Yeah, but the music YOU listen to isn't music and it doesn't take any talent to make it, cause anyone can press buttons"
So how do you manage?
rap IS edm, and there is nothing more simple than rap tracks
its mostly a 5 second loop for 3 something minutes with added sound effects like scractching noises, moaning, yeeeaaaaaah, and stuff like that

I'll go along the same lines with Mystery here. I might get annoyed but not really angry because there's no point of getting angry about tastes in music. Tastes differ. I can respect everyone's opinions if they have a reason to insult or tell false things about my fav artists. If not, i can surely let them be in their own miserable little world without the need to get mad about it.

i got pretty pissed off when i sent my roommate some edm music and he starts going around saying i have bad taste in music while i hear him turn up his piece of sh*t collection of mp3s which consist of none other than crappy rap, initial d songs(those stupid songs with some japanese guy singing) and cheesy dj sammy type stuff. and oh yes, i have to hear that heaven song a lot since he likes it.

I hate it when ppl do this. Most of the time its just ppl that
"hate" things that arent their musical tastes. And to bash waht they dont like, alot of the time they just pull reasons & statements outta their ass. I've learned to ignore it, it's certainly pathetic.
To offer your opinion about you taste and thoughts on other DJs is fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But slurs & derrogatory comments about artists is pathetic. When you insult artists, you insult the fans for being fans. So obviously, ppl will get upset.

I, honestly, do not care. My musical opinions are not the only ones out there.
The only thing that bothers me is when people say "trance sucks" or something similar. I'll admit, there is some trance that is lousy, but saying it is all bad is ridiculous. I guess that only bothers me because I put music into 2 categories. Like and Don't like. *shrug*

However, when people spread false accusations etc. that's an entirely different matter.
same thing

Depends how they do it. If they actually put some effort into their criticism I won't mind, however if they resort to the same overused cliches or plain childish insults it does get a bit on my nerves. But in the end it's not really worth getting worked up over.
