I understand what you're saying, and I'm not one to bash people for what they like. I was one of the few arguing with Swamd and Slim in the Electro thread for their hipster elitist attitude. Although I do disagree with you about EDM influencing pop. The new EDM damn near IS pop. They made it that way to attract a bigger audience and make more money. Just look at Aoki's, and Wolfgang's last albums. Newer electronic music is a watered down version of real electronic music.Originally Posted by dmbrhs
That's great, for you. But at a certain point you're telling people what they can and can't (or should/shouldn't) enjoy. That's my problem. Just let people enjoy the scene. It's harmless. I'll be the first person to admit Avicii isn't exactly Mozart, but stop deciding what's good or not for the genre. The fact is, I know because of the increased popularity of EDM, people are actually exploring it more and getting exposed to a lot of other genres. Don't assume people will just stop at what's popular. And you also have it backwards, EDM is having a great influence on pop music than vice versa.
I guess I just don't judge people for their musical taste, or how they like to enjoy the music.
WHO CARES if a lot of EDM is made for the masses. You will always get to see good DJs if you live in a populous city. I know you live in the Bay and have access to a great scene along-side the more pop stuff, because I live there too.
Sucks that EDC had to close early because of wind
I heard Bassnectar KILLED IT though
You're right about Aoki, but that's the point. The new wave of producers are gravitating towards making pop-electro over anything else, which floods the scene with nothing but commercial crap. Luckily SF's real House scene is emerging, and I hope it can catch up to LA's.
