    New vs Old

    So... I recently befriended a 20 year old gal. I'm twice her age. We got to talking about music, DJs, etc. and I asked her for her favorites. Skrillex, Diplo, and Steve Aoki. You know where this is heading... ha ha.

    No really, so I told her about Digweed and she did not know. So she got home and messaged me: "I listened to Digweed. I don't like it b/c it's the same beats over and over and it should have lyrics."

    Without going all DJ-snob, this is an honest request for advice. What's the best way to introduce the current crop of EDMers into I guess what we now call as underground? Short of taking her to a Digweed live (which is not possible, we live in different countries), what would be a good way? Progressive house often does not reward with instant gratification and you have to be patient... very different from today's EDM. If she likes EDM, that's fine. But wouldn't it be so nice if she could experience the other side too?

      First of all, best of luck with long distance relationships. I just got out of one. Have fun! Anyway, music is subjective at best. Ask her about her favorite album & listen to it together. Then, put on your favorite (no matter the genre). Work your way up to the beats.

          What makes you think that your taste is music is better than hers?

                                                  If i'm getting right, he asking for "best way to introduce the current crop of EDMers into I guess what we now call as underground".. Not saying his tastes are better than hers.

                                                      Just show her all the music you like most and tell her why you like it... If she does not like it for any reason, just deal with it .. my 2 cents
