Each performer has his own way of playing the medium...if it was just about the music I'd stay at home and listen to my music collection...not to mention save a WHACK of $$$. The performer makes the show.
The reason I go to these parties is to see the performers...(or hang out with friends), not just to listen to tunes... |

I 100% agree with you. I love that there is a wide spread acceptance, but i don't want these kids to come to the party JUST for Tiesto, like they are seeing their fav singer or something and wear tiesto t-shirts and holding signs and . |
Why not, when these "kids" come to the party they sometimes end up falling in love with the music and want to go out more. Which in the end is helping the electronica community grow.
Why did you go to your first party??? |

Ok.
You guys are missing my point.
Think about Rap and Hip-hop. Where it came from. How it grew.
Look at what kind of they are selling now. K-Fed. ing K-Fed. All of these are rappers. Dime a dozen. They just want to make a quick buck now. Its not about the music.
I'll refine my question and ask:
Do you think that one day electronica will be dominated by bull like Rap and R&B has or will it predominately continue to be about the music? Will 16 year olds start dressing like djs and and buying decks and never use them?
(The rap example was used because there was a day when it actually had a meaning. Now its cars, big asses and mansions.) |

Hey beefy....there's a guy in your avatar pic wearing Tiesto's lable T-shirt :p
And I don't mind electronica growing...last few days my alarm clock went off with "This is not MIAMI"...and I in' freaked...I mean how sweet is that...what a great tune to wake up to.
I wear a Tiesto shirt to Tiesto because I'm a really big Tiesto fan - and what's wrong with being a Tiesto fan? Or a PVD fan? Or an Armin fan?
What's wrong with the DJs making lots of $$? Many of them earned it...hell they shoveled for it so let them have some fun. |

we need more commerical dance music. Thats what gets kids into the music. Energy 108 and Hot 103 did just that in the 90s. Its why the scene in europe and the rest of the world is so big. You wont see people freaking out because a song is on the radio.
The problem with Toronto these days is that when a good song manages gets on the radio, its played 100 thousand times and its always added 6 months to a year later. |

I'm sorry, what i meant to say is that the music is the message, and the musician is the medium.

music is a point of view, just because you don't agree with other peoples perception on music; it doesen't give you the right to lable them wrong.
you generalize too much from a narrow perspective |
