Electronic Music SUCKS!!!

[Spacerboy]

People out there. It´s really great to see that you are all alive .

Vive La Electronic Music

original troll-posting:
To be honestly. The more I listen to electronic music, the more I think it´s crap and terrible. Compared to real music I have the feeling, that all these digital ways of producing sound is useless and a 0/1 illusion.

There comes the end of this glory 0/1 era, very soon! Music-Software has to be changed somehow, but it will be difficult...compare Vinyl to Ableton...The software sound simply shitty!

I feel music in general has become stagnant, but when you think about it, we humans are the creators. What do we need to become motivated and create fresh ideas?
Let's face it, you can only say "C'mon baby love me", or "Can you feel the beat" so many times before it becomes redundant and silly.

Now if there were a way to record those tunes you hear in your head....THAT would F-n rule!!!!! I hear tunes in my head that would never sound the same if i were to try to replicate it acoustically or electronically. I need some device that could record my thoughts (tunes in my head)!

damn, that spacerboy has 233 posts. does he just go around the forum posting crap about Ableton?

[AdamJay]

do you see this when you look in the mirror?

The problem is not in lack of music or lack of creative artists. The problem is with you listeners and your attitude. Everyone goes after the major hits and artists and really don't search for the tons of good music that is being made every day. ppl are just too lazy to search, and are really an easy target for the industry. They accept to be mouth fed by it even if they are eating shit everyday.

But what else is new?...

Get an attitude folks and open your mind. There is so much good stuff out there that the problem I have is lack of time to search even more and really appreciate all there is. But don't expect to find it on best buy or the local radio station.

Now if you still call music to stuff like "C'mon baby love me", or "Can you feel the beat" everything is said...That's not music, that a marketing product....the Celine Dion's of e-music.

Music has no end. Get out of the mainstream!

i understand you judge electronic music being not real.
who are you to say that. there are some electronic artists out there with very high musical skills, and if you are able to listen to music you can notice it immediately, regardless of the style.
Come on, there are rock bands which have done 3 albums with 3 chords and 2 riffs of guitar.....

maybe you don't even immagine how much of the "real" music you like has been electronically processed, things like adding some efx to the mix, compressing... you see my point?
How many groups which have a more or less classic setup (guitar, drums, bass...) have a synth too? That's "digital way of producing sounds" baby.

Things are not only black and white.

I guess it's time for you to explore deeply the neverending world of electronic music, you may discover some mind-opening things.
A search for the forum members websites and a couple of downloads should be enough, there's a lot of good and varied stuff.

All the best and stay groovy

sorry brittney spears isnt electronic music pal.

[sweetjesus]

pure electronic music does get a bit stale to the ears, thats why people sample organic textures and instruments (especially percussion).

but at the same time, a synthesizer is not all too different from an electric guitar in many ways of perception.

troll on little man!

I think he was attempting humour. Maybe?

dunno.

Though 'electronic' music isn't really my thing anymore, I have to say if you think there's no good 'electronic' music you haven't listened to much. I just went back and listened to some old Depeche Mode albums from their early years and was pretty damned impressed all over again, and that's just one band. I'm sure if I went and looked my mind would be blown many times over. Of course the same could be said if I just went and searched out any genre of music. Bluegrass, anyone? Dueling banjos rule!

There's an incredible weath of great music out there to be discovered, don't limit yourself by misconceptions into missing any of it. You will be poorer because of it.

If the synthesizer is not sequenced, then this is true.

There is a quote that Jerry Garcia made to David Grisman when David was saying he wanted him to drop the electric guitar and play acoustic.
He told him

"David once you put a microphone in front of something it's all electronic."

Never thought I'd quote Jerry but I think it's a good point. It's what your ears hear and not how it gets there that matters.

Righteous! There's another Garcia quote that I can't remember verbatim, but it's along the lines of 'it's your limitations that give you your personal style'. I always thought that was helpful.
