I think possibly (I'm no exception especially when I was a bit younger) people who like to be recognized for being "creative" cant stand it when anyone else is getting attention at shows and what not. That's why all this hatred for the dj's possibly... like they have done anything to stop you from being creative... Like all those people who are trying to have a good time want to hear YOUR SPECIAL MUSIC. HA!
It was just so eye opening one night because I'm usually performing with jazz, improvised groove, and all types of instrument based music -and that shits hard- and no one shows up to gigs and no one gives a fuck. But when you dj you are performing a service almost, and it's strange how even though it's been done "right" apparently (people dancing and singing and jumping and sweating) there's somehow room for these dicks to hate and hate and hate. I guess after being scrutinized for simply having a good time I just cant understand any legitimate reason to hate DJ's really. I can see tons of reasons not to make it your only outlet of music expression because it barely qualifies as that... but it's nice to be able to give your friends a good time without having to rehearse a band and load a ton of gear. It's something you can do as a gift. It's fun. It's not artistically satisfying. (bold statement I know)
But who fucking cares. If you can respect dancing you should respect a good dj.
