What I meant was that Eminem's generation happened 10 years ago. Those were the days where every single word he said, people listened to, and emulated what he was talking about. Why do you think he had a song about people copying him? Now he's trying too hard to be angsty, even though he's a billionaire. I'm not a fan of the new Eminem.
I like the new Eminem better than the old one.

But why is he angsty? He has millions of dollars and has become one of the most successful rappers of all time. I'm sure he'll go ahead and diss moby any chance he gets these days, seeing as how the electronic music industry is starting to take over (the mindless, bastardized pop version, mind you).
His latest albums have no substance to them, Relapse and Recovery are both piles of and are tough to listen to all the way through. I remember being able to recite the Marshall Mathers LP word for word from start to finish.

He always had angst. Also, you do realize that Moby started that whole feud by shooting his mouth off about Eminem's music, right?

His job was to be the Paul Shaffer of the VMAs.

There are moments of brilliance in Recovery, perhaps your tastes have altered?

most people who listen to deadmau5, dont listen to other edm, and most even think he started techno.

which is normal considering that his fanbase is comprised mostly of high school kids.

He has mastered his flow, and he has always had great pen-work. That doesn't mean I have to enjoy his songs. I respect him as an artist, I just didn't care for his latest two albums. I think his single on Recovery is very cliche and uninteresting.

He's a real idiot though. Techno was invented in his home city by some black guys who had a way harder life than him and are way more 'og' than him. I still am glad the whole thing happened though, otherwise we wouldn't have had such great hits as this...

I'm still maintaining a point as to why a growth in dance music would benefit people, though. Your reasoning, followed through, seems to suggest it doesn't matter what happens to dance music in America because club culture is ultimately facile and soulless.
To clarify, I think American club culture is but a symptom of a larger problem and one which is only magnified by cross-over artists, be it from dance to pop or vice-versa. The prevailing argument seems to be that, because Guetta, Tiesto, Deadmau5, et al, have been recognized as legitimate artists by mainstream industry that it's a good thing for the music and culture, on the whole. I'm maintaining that because decisions within the main-stream industry are dictated more by market forces than by artistic integrity, industry has relatively little interest in striving for or maintaining a standard of quality which is not as marketable as a long established acceptable level of mediocrity and therefore, the industry will incentivize quantity over quality and discourage artists from investing more time, effort, and resources than is necessary to achieve mediocre results.

I'm sorry but an artist like Moby can say anything he wants about an "artist" like Eminem.
