Ah right, well that's what I get for not really looking at the actual video, and just listening to the audio. Was people all up in arms when they found that out or something? I'd imagine the sample CD manufacturers were happy as it probably boosted their sales mega.

lol you think anyone in the world buys sample packs.

As a serious question that I hope can be answered:

When does musical nostalgia end and progressive talent become recognized as reputable? Not to offend, but people like Threatis seem too pretentious to me. I thought music was an objective art?

I love 'the good days' too, but are you too cynical or lacking objectivity to understand what others may perceive as great entertainment. To a certain extent and not to cite the previous dubstep example but isn't that a bit ethnocentric to believe your genre of music may be superior to another persons, even if that music is within the EDM genre itself? Pretentiousness and a lack of objectivity towards music such as this just makes people look like an uncultured person.

While I understand some of you may not like every song that is posted here, as I do not myself, I thin kthat each song offers its own unique qualities and I find it astounding that when a song comes up someone does not enjoy that I hear things like "poo poo sucks bruh", "hahaha human being", "lol hgahahahaha".

Well I'm done with my rant, but maybe just maybe someone here can shed some light on how to properly critique music without being an uncultured neckbeard.

fake edit: faggots on the innernet

Edit: To make sure I am also contributing music to this thread, here is a new album an acquaintance of mine just released. Been digging it all week.

http://audiphobia.bandcamp.com/album/audiphobia-lp

some great tracks in there (21 in total). I'm not technically sure if all of it is step or dubstep/etc but maybe someone can shed some light on that for me.

none of the music posted here will ever live up to a 10th of what Dragonforce has done

i think it's really amusing to watch people go apeshit over swedish house mafia and other garbage when they're really just rehashing the bullshit Trance/Prog garbage of the early 2000s we all laughed at so loving hard.

Apologize but my point still stands. Is Ghosts N Stuff a trance song or did the makers of this mediocre trance compilation just throw it in there for the hell of it. (the version on the CD is actually the long version without vocals)

Also another question. In the OP Daft Punk is mentioned as the most "known" example of House Music. It seems to me quite a few Daft Punk songs are pretty experimental or just straight up aren't house at all, is this the case with most house artists?

ahahahhahaha oh my god

ummmmm p.rock anthem owns

I'm pretty accepting of almost all straight up radio pop and I can honestly say I would love to see one or both of them choke on glitter.

also:

quote:

They are the son and grandson, respectively, of Motown record label founder Berry Gordy, making them uncle and nephew.

is the funniest thing I have ever read.

That V.I.P. track was an abomination in my ears, but the Party Rock Anthem was get-down-to-able. Then again I have little emotional investment in what "real" house/electro/synth is.

it has nothing about emotional investment. it is a bad song.
