... that's not happening. The big, big, big names get pulled to Vegas because they draw that sort of a crowd. Ibiza will always be there, just always on a more "underground" scale. Morillo did this, Oakey did this, now Tiesto will do it and will end up suffering the same fate as his predecessors - retaining a decently-sized fan base of douchebags while, in the bigger picture, fading away a bit.

Unless Tiesto is the DJ equivalent of Kenny G, then I agree with you wholeheartedly.
Not really. Jazz musicians tend to reach maturity in their 30s, and continue to get better. This is just as lame as rock stars trying to be18. And jazz muscians actually do something.

right...

Basically a drum solo. Impressive for those that cant do it for about 2 minutes then ing annoying. Also something most 20 year olds can do that actually put the time in.

Not nearly enough cynicism - the crowd of ignorant plebes in the video are still losing their and dancing their asses off when I play it.

Drugs are a wonderful thing. Just rather sad to see kids partying witn someone twice their age. More sad that djs continue to do it like an aged rock band on their 4rth reunion tour. Clubbing is for the young. I understand these djs typically have some issues and nothing else to do to make a living. Still cringe worthy. Bunch of bret michaels.
Turntablism is somewhat different but these human jukeboxes do it for the same reason people still club in their 30s. It is kinda lame.

You know, maybe some people just prefer dancing over jaded intellectualism, regardless of their age. Or is there some magic button that I'm unaware of that turns off your feet and moves all of your energy up into your head when you turn 30?

I can still do a backflip. But I would rather do adult things than be surrounded by kids and junky adults that didnt get ghe memo. The performer should be able to connect with their audience. How a 40 year old can connect with a room full of drug addled young adults.... djs do it because they are emotionally stunted and still find it rewarding. That and they all tend to be heavy drug users that enjoy being surrounded by similar users. I get those that do it for money, but say in your case, no money, awful hours to perform for kids. Kinda ed.

Had a feeling this would piss off all those delusional +30 djs and wannabe producers convinced their time will come. Go to steves, check out the keyboard guys, they are pretty much the equivalent. Too stubborn to realize they are a walking cliche. I get why these words hurt. Why not just accept fate and let the youth do things meant for youth. There is something incredibly desperate with all these aging jukeboxes playing a game that is meant for another generation. Edm is pretty much the only scene were you get old farts playing rockstar. Well that and ty cover bands that think hair rock will come hack. I get the legacy djs as they are like a museum. But the rest of you old farts, give it a rest. Nobody wants to look up and see some bald overweight underachiever.
you want to make a difference, be a mentor or something to the youngins that are up and comming. A healthy scene is a young scene and your old asses should watch from the sideline .
