My grandpa was a jive-kid way back in the '40s. Jitterbuggin' and all that. Y'know, a total youth movement. He'd still go to little shindigs with his wife all the way into his '70s, and probably still would if he was physically able to.
But he should have let it go after WW2, grow up and accept it was no longer fashionable to juke'n'jive. And lets not even get started on the live bands playing the music! Let it go, man, it's not 1939 anymore! |

Not really. That would be people like you playing your ty minimal house that is the equivalent to adult contemporary to anyone over the age of 25. You are basically a guy playing a saxophone at a bar. Stop cheating the kids out of their fun by imposing your out of touch bull. next up is a jam me and my buddies use to washington handjive to.....
I think part of the problem much like drug addicts is that you surround yourself with similar failures that also share your delusion.
its the EDM equivalent to the 40 year old metal head working at Guitar Centre. That guy also things his band will make it. Just one more year..... |

Yeah, but I get the feeling that you'd much prefer discussing, at great length, the mechanics of performing said backflip than actually doing one.

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. |
I wonder if you know yourself half as well as you think you know everyone else around you. |

Can't say I'm stunned by this news, considering the mainstream success in the US and the money pit which is Vegas. He had some gay college thing, and now even more Tiesto grandeur on a Vegas budget.
Will Ibiza become a Clubland equivalent to Detroit's auto industry? I imagine all the drug tzars will be doing quite well with the influx of EDM mainstreamism. |

| After reading this joke of a thread last night.. and I'm not talking so much about Tiesto getting a residency in Vegas but all the chit chat about age and when dj's should retire.. I thought about how asinine a comment like that really is. I mean, look at the aforementioned dj's and their ages. Carl Cox by far books out every single show he ever plays at. In fact his tent at Ultra is so jam packed that they have to bring in an extra set of extra speakers just so people outside the tent can hear him. Couple that with the ASOT Dj's. Markus Schulz and Armin van Buuren and still to this day, all across the world they're filling up arenas.. The other dj's mentioned, Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, ATB, etc. etc.. still have a huge following and not for nostalgia. They still remain on the cutting edge of EDM as far as sound, their tracks, mixes, and the like.. There's no getting around how idiotic it is for someone to say these people should retire. Its dj's like these that bridge the gap between young and old and allow our scene to be what it is.. because you can be 30+ standing right next to a 18 year old and both look over at the same time and say hell yea!! That's what its about and that's what it will always be about- regardless of age.. |

they play such big festivals that nobody ing realizes how old and lame these mediocre ds are. And Carl Cox , well considering he plays the kind of music that could be mistaken for a a one hour track should just stop for that reason alone. I think you need a certain aphasia to find his sets remotely interesting. Or a lot of ing drugs. His sets are more monotone than HAL.
And those festivals you speak of are were the good things in the scene are not happening. They are the same as seing Styx live reunion. Go nuts I guess. Like I said, these djs are museums and I suppose that is a role to fill but i'm sure about 75% of them could off and things would be no worse off. |
