I get your point...but my point is that so are so many other people in clubs....maybe even you.
Well prejudice towards people will never help a scene grow...so you dont help that much.
Anyway...
EDM will never be big in America, because Americans tend to like what is forced fed them through the airwaves...if they hear something on the radio a million times they like it. There will be the exception of tunes that will reach the masses (Beautiful Things, Satisfaction, Sandstorm, Kernkraft etc) but they are few and far between.
For example....i used to play Tiesto (circa 99) all the time in my car driving to clubs...and most, if not all, of the people that i played it to said Tiesto sucked..he played cheese blah blah blah...NOW today with Tiesto's popularity and tunes being hammered on American radio these same critics swear they loved Tiesto when i did.
I don't think EDM not getting big in America has really anything to do with with anything but the fact that it is, for the most part, vocal less...Americans like nice vocals that they can sing in the shower, in front of the mirror or driving in their car....thats why 90% of the EDM tunes that the masses do like have vocals...and why DJ Sammy, Amber, Lasgo and the such are considered gods of the EDM scene to Americans (17-28years old). |
I've been into the scene since '98. But I guess that doesn't make me a veteran by any stretch. Ah well, I'm off my soapbox now. I'm just going to stand in the corner and interject with my comments when needed. Which they generally aren't :happy2: |

Not for nothing....but why would you want the EDM scene to get big in America...lol.....for the most part everything American youth gets it's sticky fingers on turns to in 4 years.....masses always kill .
I always liked in underground/low key/whatever.....but eh thats me....
Reason i WONT go see Tiesto in NYC anymore is not because of candy kids/ravers..it is because of conformists who heard hom in the radio and heard he won some meaningless award and now they flock to see him by the thousands and swear oh swear that they never liked JP, DT or any other DJ that they used ride while doing bumps of K. |

i'd just like to point out that all of you are giving krysta crap for judging people based on appearances when you are all doing the exact thing to her. i can't believe how many times i've heard..."i know your type" or "people like you" in this thread, while then turning and accusing her of judging others.
now, i'm not saying that you guys are wrong in your assumptions...but really none of us really know her and she hasn't said anything about her background with EDM, yet everyone is assuming that because she is a beautiful girl that she doesn't know what she is talking about and is new to the scene herself.
what if one of the old skool TA's had started this topic with the same opinons? would you all be so quick to dismiss the topic and attack the individual? probably not. |
My responses would have been the same regardless of who started the thread, bar changing gender when appropriate ;)
I responded based on the words she typed and the message she put across, not what she looks like or who she is.
ps. Bring the Lacey av back :( |

i'll just use tiesto14 as an example since he's been very active in this thread and i like him hehehe :p.
you came in here with prior experiences that are biasing your opinions. you said that your ex girlfriend was just like krysta and therefore you knew how she was and made up your mind imediately and then ignored the true point of this thread... |
u got me:crazy: :p |

Now this post made me smile a tad :)
But, as you told me, they have just as much a right to party as you do. Even though they still suck. |
