It doesn't bother anyone that they've mixed up their Stars?

If I wasn't waiting for a crown in 2 weeks, I'd cancel my appt :o
I am your dentist
I did disappoint my mother by not following in the blood soaked, shrieking steps of being a medical professional, mostly because its a lot of work at university... and didnt finish high school :o
Though as a qualified beauty therapist I did manage to probably cause as much agonising pain as a dentist in the few short years I did it, the difference is that people are usually happy to see you. No one is happy to see the poor dentist :(

I don't think i really 'get' the whole new disco thing...
like 70s and 80s stuff i really like, but it kinda pisses me off all the stuff coming out lately which has the same production values, simply because these people are INTENTIONALLY making it sound bad so it sounds like its 30 years old...
disco was out of time because it was played live, and the technology wasn't good enough to fkn quantize everything, these days all you have to do is hit a button and your instruments will be in time, yet you get these guys who are no doubt mad producers zooming in and intentionally putting instruments out of time simply to mimic the sound...
pisses me off.
make something ing new instead of ripping off a style... the 90s and 00s really have not created anything new whatsoever, its a ing population of reinventors, wtf happened to the human drive to improve, and revolutionise!?!?!?
every style, and movement for the last 20 years has simply been a reimagination of old movements... wtf is wrong with everybody!? :mad:

I'd kind of agree with your complaints about the 00s, but the 90s? Really? Most of the best electronica ever made came from the 90s, and there were tons of new styles and sounds being created :conf:

I believe electronic music has given itself the chance to "accommodate". That is, now that everybody has an idea of what it is supposed to sound like, people keep their creativity within these boundaries... not to mention the fact that it's DJ friendly.

Actually, the creativity juices sort of stopped flowing in the mid-90's I guess. Let's face it, since drum'n'bass was created (the least old of all the major genres, such as house, breakbeat, trance, techno and hardcore), can you think of something awesomely new? Even dubstep is not exactly revolutionary...

Things slowed down a bit, sure, but there was still a lot of really awesome and creative stuff coming out in the later 90s.

Electronic music's heyday really was about 1985 to 2000, there was so many different types of genres and new technology coming out that really pushed it along.
I sort of liken the 00's as the time innovation forgot and just went back to thumping the same old tub, there was still good music being made between 00-10. But you've got to really dig for it and none of it really has really distinguished itself as being truly progressive.

Yeah this is what i was getting at, i obviously like a lot of stuff during the periods i was criticising, its just that its all fine-tuning, instead of innovating.. edm definitely has changed but it came from the 80s... look at blue monday for example, that turned into 90s synth pop which turned into house etc.. i like it, and im by no means revolutionary it was really more just a criticism of society in general, in all fields we're just fixing problems with existing structures rsther than attempting to create anything new...
We're just all too comfortable and happy ffs :stongue:
