Good electronic music may be simplistic structurally, but it's subtle and detailed in ways that pop and rock will never achieve.
You mean mainstream pop and rock? Because there's rock and even pop music that's hundred times more complex and deeper than your average club tune.
And you're mixing things up here. I'm sure JBJ is talking about dance music when he says that most EDM is as complex as some average pop music. Electronic music can be very complex and detailed, something like Cinemascope by Monolake, In Between by Jazzanova or stuff on Ninja Tune can proudly stand among the best albums of non-electronic music.
So this whole debate and whining in here is pretty pointless. I could understand if Squarepusher or some other producer of music that can really benefit from high sound quality came here and complained, but when average dance music producer complains about that stuff... well it's just laughable.

The vast majority of music listeners are not musically savvy, hence why genre's like pop/dance are mainstream.
The statement has nothing to do with deduction - it is merely anecdotal, and without implied causation. So of course, hating bad quality music does not mean that you think deadmau5 sucks, just as much as liking bad quality music does not mean that one enjoys deadmau5.
Cliff notes:
1) Majority of music listeners listen to simple music
2) Majority of music listeners listen to low quality music
3) Populations probably overlap significantly
Thought or hoped that was what you meant. It's clear now.

The only person you're kidding with that is yourself.

s sake, I'd be just glad people were hunting for my tunes to listen to in the first place. My audience is friends, girlfriend, son and parents occasionally.

some pop music can have great production value, the simplicity of it involves the actual lack of searching out for it imo.
most edm is not shoved down your throat and handed to you on a silver platter 45 times a day through the mainstream media.
it is simple to turn on the radio and go this song is number one in my country so be default it is awesome (same can be said for a lot of beatport shoppers as well:p), it is not quite so simple to scour oodles of releases to find that one gem that makes you fist pump in your mothers basement while saying why don't you do better to anyone that s on your tastes.

This thread is more entertaining than any deadmau5 track =/
