    Yeah, yeah, whatever. I used to DJ hardhouse/NRG/acid techno etc about 10 years ago, went off it 'cos its a fairly limited genre that went down a dead end years ago. I hear enough of it at the occasional squat party I go to and it bores me to tears. Shit music for ketmonkeys.
    whatever?!haha not much of a come back dear.
    oh well, sorry ur scene died, maybe it's just buzzing where I am.

    oh if anyone's thinking what the fuck is hardstyle lol get down to Religion's 3rd (3 years might I had, hardly something that has died, more up and coming/coming back) birthday. Daniel Mondello, who won best dj in the world 3 years running has been bagged to play!

    Also check out the Switzerland night, looks amazing and I can't wait for it!

    Naaah, the scene didn't die (check out the London squat party scene, its still happening every weekend), the music just got really fucking predictable.
    But if you like linear beats with no surprises, so you don't actually have to be able to dance, thats up to you.

    u don't have to be able to do anythin set...u do what u want to music. What one style of music can do to one person, another style gives that feeling to the next person. Dissing people's music taste is in bad taste.
    A hardstyle beat for me takes me to another level, ok i think there can be a tad few many break downs but it takes a good dj to make it unpredictable.

    Each to their own, but calling hardstyle progressive is absurd.

    calling progressive music progressive always struck me as absurd but so many people think it does progress!
    anyway i never used the word progressive, i said a good dj can make it unpredictable. different people, different ears.

    How is a linear 4/4 beat "unpredictable"? How are ten zillion breakdowns an hour "unpredictable"?

    I answered you question and proved myself right and u answered exactly how i thought you would!
    This convo has gone stupid now, so we'll leave it on a pre-predicted note. I'm right.

    Errrr...yeah, right. :rolleyes:

    As I said - each to their own, but IMO hardstyle has no imagination, no funk, no soul and is a creative dead end. The tunes sound the same as they did 10 years ago.

    why? thats just like me sayng "lets hope death metal just dies and all the depressed egotistical fans die aswell" which is bullshit, dance has loads of branches, there are instrumental dance groups, there is emotion, lyrics and the choons are good aswell, well to me and a lot of others but you can't judge just because you don't like.

    Coming from a man who likes heavy metal, a genre that's the preserve of inadequate spotty males who can't get laid...

    I am indeed partial to that particular genre, but many others also.

    I could retort by saying that those who like dance music are pathetic drugged up nobodies who like having a repetitive beat pounding at their skull until they finally just give up and overdose.

    You could say that, but you'd be chatting complete ignorant bollocks, like all the rest of your posts. Get back to pretending you're the devil and wanking over shit air brush fantasy art.

    EDM will never ever die. Even if the commercial side of things dies, there will always, always be an underground following just like there has been since the birth of any form of EDM.

    And I could say that would be one very ignorant comment as you obviously have no real clue to what dance music is. It's not all about going out, necking pills and dancing like a cunt. That's like me saying everyone who listens to Heavy Metal sniffs glue & cuts them selfs while listening to some prat screaming down a mic saying how his gonna cut someone open and fuck them... which is not actually to far some lyrics I heard on a metal track not so long ago.

    who like having a repetitive beat pounding at their skull

    and distorted palm muted power chords with inane screaming and shouting down a mike is so much more musical and talented, like "real" music and all :rolleyes: get a life

    No there's still a few lightweights. But then then they like their music slow anyway. You can usually find them in the trance arena standing still with their hands in the air. They like clubbing, they don't know raving.

    I like to rave, fast and hard with plenty of class A's. :D

    Ahhh, but then you get those strange few who dance like nutters longer than the druggies just because they love the music.

    Hmm now thats a little stereotypical is it not? I like dance music but have never touched drugs in my life....thats including weed.

    Yes dance music has progressed over the years and todays stuff in my opinion isn't the same or as good as 4 or 5 years ago so I rarely go for dance nights out any more.

    Yes I'm a progressve house fan, but to skive, that doesn't mean you'll find me or my mates standing still with hands in the air.
