Re: Do people make fun of you for listening to edm?

seems to me that listening to electronic music makes you a "raver" in most peoples eyes

PLUR!!!!

The only people that say anything negative about it are usually the people that have shitty taste in music anyway. I cannot help people that only have the radio as a source of new music. My employees usually come into my office dancing if I am listening to EDM, it's pretty funny.

Music has been a bridge for all of my real friendships
so most of my friends either already dug the music
or liked it after their first club night or after listening wonderful discs like NE1
communication, or The orb.

When people I know hear some of the stuff I play...They start moving their hands and arms and say, "I'm raving to this music" or "This is rave music right?".....Annoys me....

Yes, people around here especially because the closest edm club is hours away, meaning that the only nightlife around here revolves around top 40 bullshit.

"Oh so you listen to that uncy acy"
"How many times have you done ecstasy?"

when judged for self-expression.
One realizes those who leave you, where never with you to begin with. Thus non-attachment is personal freedom in any relationship or not. Only the Ego Mind craves attachment. Personal relationships, like Life... are a dynamic and continual process. So to, must the Mind be. Dynamic. Flexible. Water.


my friends are cool. i try to surround myself with people who have some intelligence and are open minded. most of my friends are not into edm, but have an open mind and are willing to listen and respect it. co-workers... some are fuckers, some are interested. i am pretty quiet about it at work. the less most people know about my private life the better imo. i have opened up to some people a bit, but the wrong ones, and it was just a pain in the ass.

Re: Do people make fun of you for listening to edm?

when people ask me what type music i listen to i usually give a blanket response: "techno" or sometimes "house music" i find that it's usually a big waste of breath trying to explain the difference between Music, and the bullshit on the fm dance stations, so i will just steer clear of any music related talk since i am totally biased and hate 100% of the crap on the radio. if i even get so far a to state my opinion on commercial music i usually come across as a total asshole since i tend to think the people that are satisfied listening to that trash are more simple minded than myself.

I have noticed that people that have bashed me for EDM are either in the catagory that listen to KTU 103.5 here in NYC or they listen to 97.1 or 105.1. Either way those stations speak volume about who really should be laughing at who. Usually I just walk away and remind myself that most developers listen to diggers when they open up their IDE and start blasting away.

If they ain't with me, fuck em I always say.

Actually, I do wish that I lived in England. That is where my mom and her side of the family is from.

Doof doof doof.

I usually give people shit about listening to indie music 'cos it's so trendy now. Every dickwad around is either some emo indie kid or neu rave or electro clash whatever fuck. Take your music and shove it, leaves me with more space on the floor when Digweed swings by again.

And the people who don't understand EDM describes everything with a 4/4 beat as 'techno' and in their minds, they're thinking some kinda euro trash dance megamix music.

Seriously I just don't get it. Within the EDM genre there's such a spectrum of sounds and sub-genres ranging from breaks to psy to trance to tech to minimal to prog to house. The 'other music' are what sounds all the same to me
