More like the abusive Step-dad of house music perhaps. |

I think it has to do with having a mid life crisis honestly. These guys have had their hayday and now they're married with kids and are terrified of getting old. When they were in their 20s and 30s they were HUGE and now they're in their 40s. I think they're trying to remain "relevant."
If there's one piece of advice I'd give, it would be the same advice Gary Numan gave: When you're drifting out of the spotlight, go out gracefully. Keep doing what you love. Sure, you won't feel popular anymore, but you'll still have that integrity and your true fans will stick by you and those are the ones who would pay to go see you live and buy your records. |
I'm not questioning their reasons for playing this music i just don't understand how can a 40 year old tolerate this music from a physical and mental standpoint.
I remember being in this electro-house club full of 18 yr olds last summer, after about 30 minutes i couldn't take it anymore and literally pushed people out of my way to get to the nearest exit. and i'm only 25! imagine being in these stupid parties for 5-6 hours straight listening to the same garbage over and over again, night after night for 360 days every year... damn:( i must admit i kinda admire their work ethic |

hahahahahaha I've went to crappy electro gigs alone before and it ended up being a blessing in disguise. you don't have to leave on your friends' terms. you can leave whenever you want and it felt good when I did. |

They'd got thousands of people cheering them on for playing any ol' thing. I'm sure they get over the music easily enough. |

For a while I wondered if EDM just sounds horrendous because of a generation gap, in the same way that techno sounds like "noise" to my parents. Perhaps I simply come from a previous electronic music era and all this wobble drop is actually good music that is just too removed from what I'm accustomed to.
Then I saw one of TA's own DJs - Dave King - drop Acperience at Illuminaughty and manage to send a whole group of kids fleeing from the dancefloor. Turns out the acid madness of the '90s isn't tame at all, and it's still too much for these EDM idiots. The problem isn't that the music is simply too out-there or noisy for me to "get", the problem is that the music is just absolute dog. |

The stadium house thing isn't that hard to get. It's basically just like late 90's eurodance in terms of blaring joyous stupidity tamed down just enough to be digestible for the masses, only now you're only only allowed to dance for 2 minutes at a time until you have to sit through another breakdown again.
Wubstep however, I don't know. Sometimes I think I get it, If you're really stoned and stare at a strobe light for a while it starts to sound good, sort of. |

I'm about to turn 22 and I can't stand it either! I think this is a very niche genre actually for drunken douchebags in snapbacks, shutter shades and aztec patterned tank tops. :nervous: |

When I did a bump of k' for the first time, there was dubstep playing nearby. The music suddenly made total sense then! |

| I was at the Webster Hall club 3 or so years ago and heard Dubstep for the first time. I couldn't believe my ears, nor my eyes which witnessed the multitude of youngsters dancing to this . I simply didn't understand how one could dance to it. I felt like some of the people were forcing themselves to dance, instead of enjoying it. I left shortly thereafter, quite put off by the whole spectacle. |

"Don't Take Ketamine! Otherwise, You'll Enjoy Dubstep."
This joke brought to you by the year 2008. |
