Does anyone else hate Sofia Toufa's voice in "sofi needs a ladder" and "one trick pony?"
I just cant stand her voice..

IDM IS BETTER

IDM IS BETTER

NEWSFLASH: IDM IS OBJECTIVELY ~BETTER~

No loud harsh noises to hurt your tender ears.

It has complex beats and break-downs, compared to Deadmau5's PTZZ KTZZ PTZZ KTZZ

Please guys stop feeding the terrible dub-step and 'hard-style' genres. I don't really mind the older Deadmau5's stuff but come on please take a step back and actually LISTEN to the music you are forcing into your ears. It sounds like the DJ spilled water on his Apple laptop and iTunes started skipping. (I'm saying these "Dj's" are talent-less hacks who press ~play~ and move the slider back and foreword.)

Please god.

Also this is coming from a guy who loved this genre originally, but it's become about WUB WUB WUB WAHH WAHH LISTEN TO MY COOL MUSIK WAHH WUbBBBB bBBbb and it's bad and you are funding stuff.

k first of all, yeah, IDM is great. I really like IDM stuff.

second of all, you have absolutely no idea how electronic music is made. you come into a megathread about electronic music and tell people to stop listening to 99% of it, the other 1% being IDM. if you don't like the things we post here, then just leave. why the forget is that so hard for people to understand.

third of all, not all electronic musicians are DJs. deadmau5 is not a DJ. skrillex is not a DJ. madeon is not a DJ. the only people who are DJs are those who have the abbreviation "DJ" in front of their name.

finally, for your goddamn information, we do actually listen to the music we are "forcing into our ears."

now, either participate in the discussion without bashing what everyone else in the thread likes, or leave. we don't care if you post IDM here. by all means, feel free to. just don't bash on everything else being posted and talked about. sound good to you?

come on please take a step back and actually LISTEN to the music you are forcing into your ears.
okay

i still don't see your point

A-a-a-are you dense? I have a pretty good idea of how electronic music is made, and in my opinion it takes just as much skill to create electronic music as it does to compose instrumental music. That's not the argument I'm bringing up, in fact I think that argument is loving dumb as dirt.

In your 'third' point, you badly defended something I didn't even bring up. Also you are wrong. 'DJ' is an all encompassing term for people who are in charge of playing the music for a concert. If Deadmau5 is in concert and he is playing music, he is the DJ.

I didn't say you aren't listening to it I'm saying LISTEN pay attention to the buildups, the breakdowns, the details inside of the music, how repetitive is it?, etc.  I found that when I actually LISTENED to the music I realized it was far too repetitive and grinding to spark any sort of interest or enjoyment.

But yes I'm bashing it because it's objectively bad. I've never known anyone who hasn't grown out of the wubstep genre.

okay

i still don't see your point

hey man i'll drop it whenever the forget i feel like dropping it, for now i'll pump my fist like a motherforgeter.

Also this is coming from a guy who loved this genre originally, but it's become about WUB WUB WUB WAHH WAHH LISTEN TO MY COOL MUSIK WAHH WUbBBBB bBBbb and it's bad and you are funding stuff.

oh look you ninja'd.

guess what bro. if you actually paid attention to what we post in this thread, you'd realize that probably only 2% of it is "WUB WUB WUB WAHH WAHH LISTEN TO MY COOL MUSIK WAHH WUbBBBB bBBbb." also, if you actually paid attention to the electronic music world, you'd realize that probably only 2% of it is "WUB WUB WUB WAHH WAHH LISTEN TO MY COOL MUSIK WAHH WUbBBBB bBBbb." the "WUB WUB WUB WAHH WAHH LISTEN TO MY COOL MUSIK WAHH WUbBBBB bBBbb" you're thinking of is skrillex. but even skrillex isn't that bad. I'm not a big fan of him, but he makes some pretty loving lovey electro.

k then how is it made

In your 'third' point, you badly defended something I didn't even bring up. Also you are wrong. 'DJ' is an all encompassing term for people who are in charge of playing the music for a concert. If Deadmau5 is in concert and he is playing music, he is the DJ.

no, actually, you're wrong. deadmau5 has personally said that he hates the term "DJ" because it's not what he is. a "disc jockey" is someone who places CDs or records onto a CDJ, turntable, or whatever other DJ'ing platform they might be using, and mixes the songs on the CDs together, or plays them separately. that's DJ'ing. when deadmau5 plays at a concert of his, he plays his songs through his computer, and uses several different devices to alter the way they're outputted. he doesn't use CDJs or turntables. trust me, I've been to a deadmau5 concert.

I didn't say you aren't listening to it I'm saying LISTEN pay attention to the buildups, the breakdowns, the details inside of the music, how repetitive is it?, etc.  I found that when I actually LISTENED to the music I realized it was far too repetitive and grinding to spark any sort of interest or enjoyment.

hey

hey bro

guess what

I do that when I listen to any music, be it electronic or not. also, what you call "repetitive" is actually what makes electronic music what it is. in fact, all music is repetitive. the human brain likes repetition, both in composition and in listening.

But yes I'm bashing it because it's objectively bad. I've never known anyone who hasn't grown out of the wubstep genre.

"I'm going to stuff all over this because I think it's bad and that people should stop liking it waaaahhhhhh!!!!!"

also, stop generalizing so goddamn much. I can't loving stand it when people like you generalize as much as you are.

"Hi I'm electronic music that isn't repetitive and flat!"

I don't give a stuff what Deadmau5 thinks he is. He is a DJ. He is a disk jockey. Just like a MC is now more of a "YO IM GANGSTA MC IN DA HOUSE" it still means master of ceremony.

Also holy stuff Skryleks is bad and you should feel bad for liking his mop head.

Electronic music is made using various equipment, including synthesizers and electronically altered noises. It can also encompass 100% computer made sounds. These sounds are put together into what humans perceive as music. Jesus this isn't the argument I'm making. I'm not saying these people aren't putting a lot of time into making bad music but they are still making bad music.

And ok maybe I shouldn't generalize so much. I'll revise my previous statement. Everyone I know that is worth knowing has moved on past the wubstep genre.

EDIT: But I have to give you some leeway here, some of the repetitive-ness is an ok thing when it's done correctly. For instance  I actually don't mind 'Lines in Wax' from Flux Pavilion, but their other stuff is not so great.

He apparently doesn't know how difficult it is to produce electronic music

Deadmau5 isn't a DJ, maybe a little but a lot of his stuff is done live.

he knows, he just doesn't understand opinions and has a dying need to make sure people stop liking what he dislikes.
