Because it made people have to try a bit harder to find good music with all the utter drivel out there - or that's usually how the argument goes.
People are just ing lazy, that's all. |

It's funny, most people say they wish they could go back to the old days and do some crate digging, but this article has a more interesting perspective:

I'm not even sure of my own feelings on this, but I think I'm starting to agree with Ronan... |

No, not all the good music is readily available with a click of a button. |

If it wasn't for the internet I'd either:
a) still be listening to radio crap
b) have lost the interest in music
c) moved to other stuff that doesn't sound like radio crap, neither is electronic, whatever would be more accessible
Electronic music parties would most likely be far less too around here.
So yeah, I'd say the internet here was a good thing. Though I guess it wasn't a good thing in the classic EDM cities already mentioned, like Detroit, Chicago, Frankfurt, most likely a good part of the UK, etc etc. |

What i mean is before you could just go online and listen to a track and download it or order the record online.I'm guessing the spreading of the knowledge of a new track would take a while to spread,and it was more difficult for most to i.d a track they would hear a dj spin.Also i'm guessing there were tons more records stores around.
Anyone have any insight on this subject? |
My guess is, you could take the current number of dj's and divide it by 10 to the 10th power and that's how many dj's there were. |
