I agree with Placebo.
The methed out chick was hilarious. The D.J. talking about her being a psycho was funny. The 5 foot tall "Smooth" geno character is an idiot. One day he'll get the crap kicked out of him. The pregnant black girl is annoying and UGLY. The Peter guy should be sending his tracks to Bedrock or somewhere. Also showing up for time will help.

Seriously? Who lied to him?
You dont just get record deals by spinning burned MP3's.
You play gigs and clubs and get famous then- MAYBE then- You might get a compilation deal or something.
He's just trying to skip the hard work and paying his dues and skip to the top-
I thought it was classic how everyone who listened to his "mix" just was NOT IMPRESSED. |

Youre right.......Its just some posers.
I never heard anything about how they love the music, its just something about how they want to be famous. |

Well, I was pretty outraged at this...so I took the liberty of emailing MTV.
I don't know if I'll get a response, but at least I tried...
This is what I wrote them:
I am definitely appalled at your portrayal of clubbing in America. The show was absolutely horrible for the following reasons:
a) What did a young dancer's pregnancy have anything to do with the club culture? Her story does not affect or represent the clubbing scene.
b) The tracklisting and musical selection for the show was practically offensive. The tracks you chose are years old and not currently favored in today's electronic world.
c) What was the point of K-Smooth's role again? He obviously wasn't a clubber: he was an aspiring bartender and womanizer who listens to hip hop - not a clubber.
d) Not many clubbers start their day at 8 in the morning right after church, stay up all night, then go to work.
e) Not many clubbers stalk dj's, abuse their pets, and constantly abuse substances - at least not the substances you have shown and to the degree that Patricia used them.
There are many other complaints I have about this show and I feel that a more accurate portrayal of the scene should be presented at another time.
Whoever researched this topic did a very sloppy, half-assed job.
There is a whole world devoted to clubs and electronic music. My advice to you is to first find someone out there - someone not unlike myself - one that is familiar with this world, and have them depict it in an appropriate manner.
There is a ridiculous amount of people in this scene that are disgusted with not only just the show, but with MTV altogether because of it.
I'm representing these people because we are sick and tired of watching our entire culture constantly being inappropriately represented.
I would really appreciate it if you could respond to this email with more information of the reasons for depicting the culture in this light. I'm just very interested in knowing why and how much actual time and effort was put into the show.
Please view this email as merely a bit of constructive criticism. I enjoy MTV, but shows labeled "True Life" that aren't what the title indicates very much offend me.
Thank you for your time,

I doubt if he would get tough with a guy bigger than him if it weren't for the cameras.
But I do agree with the rest of what you wrote to them

I agree with that email.
I for one would like to see an acurate potrayal of the EDM world. Focusing on the music and the scene more than the personal lives of the people who like to go out....
Would be nice to see some real fans of the music...
Could highlight the true addicts who fly around the world following their favorite DJ :) |
