What is your most hated misconception of EDM?

[je vois]

basically everything you guys have already said is mostly my most hated misconceptions lmao

but like... the only thing that really pisses me off is people saying it's not real music or takes no talent to make it
ie people saying "oh it was made on a computer lol it's not real music lol lol lol"
not all edm is made electronically and also some of these programs can be quite difficult to learn
just like you'd need to learn how to play a guitar, per se, you need to learn how to use your program of choice
to me "real" music is anything the artist puts effort into and their heart and soul into and as a producer of music myself i find it a bit insulting to say that someone's hard time and effort isn't a "real" thing and it's worthless because of that

and like...i also don't really like the people who are such ******** cunts about sub-sub-sub-sub-subgenres or put down newer listeners who may accidentally misgenre something or say something is a genre it isn't
i mean yeah, genres are fine and dandy, but people argue about them way too much and it's just stupid to me like...why does something even have to fit right into a genre box
(i just have a strong dislike for musical elitists at all with any genre)

what else......i also don't like people who automatically assume all people who are young and listen to EDM don't know what the hell they're talking about and only listen to skrillex and deadmau5 and most of the "popular" artists and are just listening because it's the Popular Thing To Listen To

whoops sort of got offtopic there

You grabbed all of our points and molded them together nicely. You also described our scene and all it's idiots perfectly.

Good job

Yeah, but it's hard for them. They don't know the existence of real Dubstep. Quite sad.

Ace the Suicidal Tool

yeah true
i just find it a bit sad and a bit annoying in general that some people claim to "love edm" or "love dubstep" and know next to nothing about it aside from who's super popular

Yeah.
Actually, there's this guy in my homeroom who loves Flux Pavilion. I asked him if he listens to Skream, and he actually said, "No. I bet he doesn't make Dubstep, though".
evil

I'm getting so tired of Dubstep's popularity. It's made everyone so ignorant. It annoys me whenever I listen to it. sad

[je vois]

Ace the Suicidal Tool

yeah same
i mean like...i just don't like hearing shitty dubstep everywhere because people are jumping on it because it's popular and like...in commercials and stuff
just because you put some adequate at best dubstep in your commercial doesn't mean i want to see your probably shitty action movie more

I know, right? Did you see that speakers commercial with Jennifer Lopez? She clicks play on a remote, and it begins blasting this awful Brostep. Advertising was already worse. Putting mediocre Dubstep in commercials won't help.

Ace the Suicidal Tool

no i haven't seen it
car commercials are like...the only ones that have good music in them anymore

Oh, yeah. Luxury car companies have great music.
Actually, I think that Acura has a Netsky song in it.

i'm surprised that i haven't heard justice's "parade" in a car commercial yet

The song was so lame. It was like they weren't even trying when they produced that song. But it would be decent in a car commercial.
And yeah, it was this song that I heard in the Acura commercial.

Ace the Suicidal Tool

it's not one of their best, but i still like it
and that's really cool wow
iron heart is one of my favorite netsky tracks
