Do people make fun of you for listening to edm?

[clintlove]

For as long as I've liked edm people have teased me about it. Hardcore too, I mean some of my friends just don't let up about it. I've got a few good friends who are just as heavy into edm as myself, but the majority of them haven't a clue. I figure they just don't understand the beauty of our music. Most of what they hear is cheesy workout trance or some lame tune on a car commercial and they think all edm sounds that way. Even still, people like that would never take the time to listen and try to decipher our music from that rubish. I actually feel sorry for people who musical tastes are limited to what they hear on the radio or MTV. Anyway, I ask you all this after getting ganged up on at work by my co-workers all chanting their version of a techno tune, "Dun da da duh da, dun da da duh da, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun (the breakdown) dun dun dun, dun da da duh da."

Not surprised people take the piss for listening to hardcore as that is a complete cheese fest full stop, but the majortiy of my mates like listening to indie but will happily come out to an edm with me and addmitedly say they enjoyed themselves.

I hear about it all of the time. It mainly has to do with the fact that I'm in the military and most of these fools are either backwoods, thugs, pop freaks etc. The only ones to show any interst are the nerds believe it or not. haha. I have a shit load of money tied up in my equipment for spinning and wen I have a party all I hear is do you have hip hop blah blah blah. I thought by coming to Germany, this area would be more appreciative of the music, but since th American military has been here so long, our pop culture has infected the locals here. All they want to hear is hip hop or whatever. But if I head out of this local area a couple of hours I can find good shite. I always have to travel to hear EDM no matter what continent I'm on.

i hear about it sometimes... most people they say it sounds the same.

i think of it as their ears are not atuned to each of the different tunes an noises that make up a EDM track, they are stuck in US-pop mode and are not going to get out of it

Whenever he comes into my office, one of my coworkers always says, "Your CD is skipping."

I quite often have banter with any members of the funky house crowd. They say my stuff is all the same/boring and never changes, I say their stuff is cheesy and has no real soul to it (I dont necessarily believe the second one 100%). I love saying to them; 'one day, when ur a bit older, you will come to learn and recognise'... So patronising, it gets them every time!

Coworkwers: yea, a bit.. I give my boss Digweed and Hernan mixes though..

Other friends: Solution, I've found better friends.

Some of my other friends just like trance more....... at least they find something they like.
