    So what's with all the <insert concept i can't understand here>?

    I personally can't stand this form of EDM...what a lack of feeling...I feel like I time warped back to the 80's...so in an effort to understand it, what is it about electro that has everyone jumping on the bandwagon? Why has it blown up so much? I'd like someone to explain to me why so many people like it. Please help me understand...I just don't get it, or feel it, or like it, or agree with it...I know music progresses, but this is actually a regression back to simplicity, non-complexity, and out and out bad music...Not to be sarcastic or anything, but I would rather listen to AM talk radio than this...please help me see the light so I can understand it better...

      I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

          I personally think it's skahound's fault. it all started getting electro-ish when he got enganged to his wife... before that we never had to deal with this electro bullshit.

              electro is a lot different than it was in the 80's. the purists wouldn't even call what you're talking about electro. and i'm not that big of a fan of the old style electro, some of the new stuff has progressed far beyond what electro used to be.

                  Re: So what's with all the electro?

                  I think simplicity may be part of the appeal, but also the tripped out sounds
                  that remind me a lot of the old acid house synths. After all it is all audio
                  frequencies and certain ones have certain reactions on people. Furthermore,
                  what could be called collectively tech electro house music is not all
                  Alter Ego and Tiefschwarz(sp?) it has turned a lot of my friends on the
                  more Zabiela like minimal tech as heard on some his 4 part comp.
                  Dancefloor freaks love cracked out sound when they are on their meds...
                  so to speak. Just wait, minimal tech stuff like Martinez and Joel Mull
                  will only get more popular as top shelf DJ's work them into their sets.
                  The distance seperating Autechre(sp?) and Mandy vs Booka Shade
                  is getting smaller everyday but that why there is also Alican/Sonar
                  Cattaneo and VSag to balance things out.

                  2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
                  3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
                  4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

                  Am I close here?

                      Electro is the reason why I never post in most boards. I have nothing nice to say, so I don't want to sound like a bitter old man.

                                          8 billion other topics on the same subject. Before you go throwing the term 'electro' around, why don't you do your research to find out what 'electro' really is. Then come back and we'll have a discussion. Although, I don't think there will be anything to discuss anymore.

                                                  Personally it is getting harder and harder to find a dj that plays a complete set of quality track after quality track...of any genre. A set will sound good then it ususally will taper off....Or there will be a good track and then a bad track.

                                                  Seems like the production has taken a step back the last year year and a half.....there still good tracks but many more poor tracks than quality tracks.

                                                      i agree ska.. sometimes i feel people hear a certain electro type sound in a bassline and think, oh no this is electro... wrong.
                                                      one of my mates plays "electro" and believe me it isnt what a lot people think is electro. Digweed does NOT play electro
