Which would you rather choose?

A) Every track from the past revealed to you and given to you especially the unidentified, unreleased, and rare tracks. It doesn't matter what the format is (vinyl, cd, mp3). This comes at a price because dance music is over and there's no future releases anymore.
B) Literally the opposite. Dance music starts today (or continues from this day forward), but everything in dance music history is obsolete/erased.
yeah, I don't mean to tell people what to do by saying pick this or that. I just happened to think of these two scenarios for some reason. |

Not a bad little dilemma here, both choices are pretty dire.
B is the winner for me I think. As much as losing it's history would be a big blow to the music, there is at least hope for exiting things happening in the future. Problem with A is that the music would be rather worthless without the culture and the party scene being in place. Although there'd technically be enough material to keep me going for the foreseeable future I don't think it would keep my interest for very long. |

Since "dance music" has been a ing joke for the latest 9 years without any sign of improvement, i choose A.
There is more then enough edm music for me to listen to..
I would miss todays GOA scene tho, old school stuff still being made. |

First reaction was A, there is still so much I haven't heard and it would be such a shame losing all.
But then, I still enjoy today's music too and anything made in the past could be made in the future again (without knowing of the past), so it will be B for me. |

would i have had heard everything that i have heard in the past by choosing B or would my memory be erased too? i cannot live without the memories of my clubbing days. there is not a song i miss from the past but i miss the past it self. Id go for B as long as my memory is intact, i dont care about old songs it selfs and wether thay are kept or not. in fact i have gotted rid of all my MP3 and CDs, as well as most of my Vinyl anyway so Im actually living option B right now as nothing of the old stuff is on Spotify, except for some that doesnt sound the same today anyway. it was all about the moments. |
I respect you for bringing up memory because it's an interesting aspect to option b. yes it's still intact and dance music has no ending starting from this day forward on November 8, 2014. |

The interesting thing about B. is there's no guarantee things would repeat the same way they did before. Dance music's evolution was quite tied to the leaps in technology and surrounding alt-cultures that sprung from it. If we're to assume the current Ground Zero has all of modern technology at hand, I'd imagine we'd be stumped with options and choices in how we proceed. Without that genetic backbone from which almost all dance music is built upon, I imagine there'd be a whole lot of fuffing about before something repeats itself.
Imagine: house music that never knew a 909! |

| For A, I guess I should add that old school gigs can still happen, but that probably makes no sense anyway considering it's all about catering to the average clubber by being current and relevant through new music. |

| Although this may sound conservative, I would actually go for option A, for one simple reason. Even if no more electronic music is ever made, we've still got 40 years of music, including thousands of classics and thousands more forgotten gems, most of which I've never heard and it would take a lifetime to fully explore. However, if the entire catalogue was erased and we started from scratch, well... there'd be no music to listen to! We'd have to wait for producers to make it all again, meaning we'd have to wait another 40 years before we got back to the same volume of great music, by which time I'll have gone deaf from old age anyway. |

| ^that makes sense. my personal choice was also A when I conjured up this thread. |
