'electroclash', anyone?
ElectroCa$h came and went. It had its time of pretentious NY fucks thinking it was cool to be white trash. What I hate is that now when you say you like Electro many people associate it directly with ElectroCa$h. When anyone that knows anything knows that ELECTRO IS THE ORIGINAL FORM OF ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC dating back to 1970 with the release of Kraftwerk's self-titled debut. Luckily electro still survives amongst the ashes of the pretentious ElectroCa$h "movement"...if you can call it that.
I honestly cant stand NY and I just get angry everytime I visit there. People say its a hot bed of creativity but a good percentage of what I see come out of the city and what I have seen when I have visited the city has been pretentious shit by rich little wannbes who relocated there to "make it big". The same kids who are always calling mommy and daddy everyday because they spent all their money drinking while out on the town. IMO they should put walls up around the entire city and turn it into a maximum security prison.
Yeah lets move into a 10x10 square foot apartment that costs $1500 a month just we can be socialites and pretend we are creative and sophisticated.
One of my next electro EP's is planned to be titled "FUCK NY".
hahaha
