| Yeah you don't want Richie coming in here and forcing you to listen to Magda warming up for 8 days straight. In reality she's just super ed up and playing with the EQs while an 8 bar loop runs in the background, but we will call it a warm up set. |

Eh, I tried to prevent it, but that sorta failed miserably. Now the thread has totally derailed.

I remember when I didn't understand techno. I couldn't figure out why anyone liked it, what it's appeal was, but finally one night it came to me. It's much different than melodic music that i was used to and the way you get into it. I found it was more about letting the sounds hit you, than sinking into them.
But as for house that you don't understand. Find the pleasure in a nice solid groove... house music can often seem like it just keeps chugging along, but then you don't hafta go through all the up and downs that other music offers. It just puts me in a nice vibe that keeps on going. And plus the basslines can get oh sooo funky! |
I defended my genre. OP said no one did. Read again.
But also, I would like to hear someone defend DnB. Now I used to hate it, but have now enjoyed a bit of it. But explain the fun in going out to hear DnB and either dancing like a speed freak at 160+ bpm, or looking kinda downs syndrome dancing half time at 80 bpm.
Melodic DnB can be awesome, but explain to me the appeal in the intense stuff that would scare most people. |

Well, it happens all the time. It seems like a lot of people enjoy tearing down genres and artists they don't like at least as much as they enjoy pointing out the good features of the ones they do. |

Excuse me threadstarter, but i find this thread-subject a bit ambiguous and ermmm stupid and this is probably the reason that this thread natuarally rolled into nonsense and was finally "CoRified".
First of all, the subject itself would inevitably lead to some kind of genre wars, second everyone would have their own subjective criteria of why his/her genre of choice is better than the others (we saw that already)and third one (and most improtant IMO) why would one "want to defend a genre" in the first place? I mean, this requires that one listens to just one kind of genre and nothing else. And don't get me wrong, people who just listen to just one kind of genre with all their passion, following just this specific scene and possibly aquiring a whole liferstyle which is related to this specific genre/scene are...teenagers or dumb. I mean i listen to various genres of EDM and non-EDM respectively why should i restrain myself to just one specific genre? I can listen to post-rock group Godspeed You Black Emperor! and then put some Armin van Buuren and fill my room with unicorns and rainbows.You know, you don't have to belong to one specific music-related group e.g. "metallers", "punks","indie kids", "ravers" if you are a teenager or stuck at this stage get over it (sooner) lol. |

I do think "musical lifestyles" are interesting, even if I could never develop the kind of narrow conviction and certainty that people need to be a part of one. It kind of saddens me that seemingly everyone is joining the bland mass of people who like a little bit of everything. Even indie kids now listen to pop music "ironically," right?
