I guess the current scene is the result of the Brittany Spears/Spice Girls generation growing up & running amok.
Just doesn't have that same inclusive vibe, but it's a decent reflection of the Paris Hilton society.
Like the difference between partying @ System or going across the street to Plastique. |
meh. old father time kinda caught up with me. and breaks isnt breaks anymore, its DUBSTEP now. so, you have a bunch of nerds jizzing to a cacophony of bleeps and bloops which i completely do not understand.

Yeah, dubstep just feels like slower jungle mixed with prog.
I've enjoyed some of it, but I miss the variety of pop culture insanity you could find in a breaks set.
I was only in town for the weekend, but I'm back in Ontario until the summer.
I play cards full time now, so I'm @ Rama & Niagara most of the time.
Probably going to take off for B.C. soon though, as the live games here are struggling for players. |

Holy crap welcome back. I still remember your house party years ago. lol
and yes the 'scene' has become meh in some respects, other respects it's still fun. Variety is key...can't keep doing the same club over and over week in no matter how much you love the place b/c it gets stale. |

Thanks dude, I'm glad to hear that party was a good memory for you.
It was pretty important for me on a few levels, and next to Harvest the following yr, my favourite party.
Good to still see a few familiar faces around here, especially quality ones. |

| It's fitting that the Paris Hilton episode of South Park is on right now. |

I try to avoid taking part in the "back in the day" discourse, but it is true that these days the retard contingent is definitely a lot larger and maybe even comprises a majority of the scene today. There are just way too many noobs that think because they downloaded the newest #1 tech-house track on Beatport, and because they follow DJs around like lost puppies, that they are part of a privileged haute-société, whose mandate it is to take every opportunity to show everyone how "connected" and "in-the-know" they are. There is a marked culture of vanity that exists in the scene today that did not exist before. Although the bottle service trend is not completely to blame, I definitely see a connection to the general one-upping and dick-sizing that plagues the scene today.
Another contributing factor is the popularization of techno. Although I love the genre myself, techno fans have always had an elitist chip on their shoulders, and I think that this has been adopted by the masses.
Personally, I just avoid these people and spend my time with those who don't participate in this backwards way of thinking, and who like to have a good time, instead of standing around watching to see if everyone notices how cool they are.
Now, everyone practice their minimal lip curls! |
