So I never fully introduced myself; the name's Vixous or Vixy or whatever. :'P
I've been raving for about 4 years now and I've always loved the electronic scene ever since middle school. I am not a DJ/Producer sadly, but gosh would I love it if someone could teach me! I use to be one of those nerdy, fake happy hardcore, don't-know-a-thing-about-the-culture kids... Soooo as an officer, I feel it is my duty to inform you about electronic music to the best of my knowledge!First thing to take into mind for any music is, sometimes you aren't going to dig the music. Music can sometimes be an acquired taste (especially with most electronic genres). Educate yourself a little and try to be open to new sounds.
I believe creating music should take talent; otherwise it just seems kind of wrong and tasteless. There are unknown DJs/Producers that work their asses off to make fantastic electronic music; these are the artist that should be recognized in the EDM movement. I understand that you like what you like, but some peeps have to realize the music they support can help or hinder the scene. I know the rave scene has been affected heavily by this new, North American, head-banging brostep. Why? More club kids or just bros & hoes show up to events bringing bad vibes with them. I've almost been trampled by fangirls, pushed around by club kids on cocaine, and have had an awful lot of trouble feeling "plur". It also seems that brostep can now be made by anyone; just a whole lot of wobbles and the same beat. Not to say that electronic is not consistent when it comes to beats and such, but I always notice difference in the sounds and a more artsy feel. I feel like electronic is slowly losing its character.
Now to get a little more down and dirty. B'I
Nightcore and Scooter; Let's get this straight, these "artist" aren't really who they say they are. Yes, I understand it's okay for DJ's to mess with others tracks, but saying the music is your own is kind of what Nightcore and Scooter are saying. Truth is... These dudes take old electronics, speed it up, maybe add a silly voice into it, and claim it as their own stuff. More Nightcore than anyone; Nightcore was made by some kids that just decided they wanted their 15 minutes of fame by speeding up old, 90's, trance songs. Many people have found this out and many haven't. I don't see it as wrong so long as they mention the original artist/song and do not claim that song as their own. My favorite artist stealing songs? :'O Yes sir, watch the vid if you want a little proof.
Oh gosh so much typing! Let me know if I made any grammatical errors or just discuss down there in the comments! c: Thank you for reading and I hope to post more stuff soon!
As far as electronic goes i wish to stay with us...I'm getting a bit moar und moar into dubstep. But i mostly prefer the clasical stuff it really gets my edge..I use dance/techno music when im building. I love the vibe it gives off.
I would love to also (wik) DJ/pruduce myself (also wik) I've actually tried it with (also also wik) Garage Band on a laptop I mostly just ( also also also wik) messed around with it. I did not really put a good beat into it xD
TISS BUT A SCRATCH!!! A scratch? Your arms off!! No it isn't! ITS JUST A FLESH WOUND!!!
Yes i watch this DAILY xD
I always enjoy listening to music that's been done differently. That's why I always listen to industrial more than anything. Ever track is kinda like their own individual identity, they don't all have the same face. As for brostep and dubstep, it's like as if the tracks are just a re-run of the same beat. I consider electronic to be an exception, but I'm still quite picky with the tracks I'm listening to. That's just my opinion, I don't like listening to the same thing. :\
My fave songs:

You might need headphones for this one; you can't hear the bass unless you have good speakers. It's not exactly dubstep, but oh well, it's a fave of mine. x'D

Haha! I like the comparison thing, but I think of it as Rusko's brostep era compared to what all the brostep artist are doing now. Rusko made his original sound, which is great, but now people are just taking a few minutes to watch a video on how to make those wubs and everybody seems to be doing the same thing. It's getting a bit dull... I'm suprised people can listen to the same crap for so long and say their mus is different.
And hell yeah, it takes a lot of work. I tried producing for a little while and damn was I frustrated. It takes so much training!
And for soul... Don't even get me started. Electronic has given me goosebumps like crazy and that stuff is so beautiful when everyone is dancing together under that one groove.
Remember I said Official, there are a bunch of people out doing their own Nightcore things but from what I have been told by hardcore nightcore fans there is a set group of people who do the real official songs.
As far as Scooter goes, i've only heard a single song by him/her so idunno.
Don't forget that Stronger by Kanye West is sampled from Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk
I'm a man! I can admit I made a mistake! >B'I
TISS BUT A MEAR FLESH WOUND!!!! x3
Are you familiar with the Amen Break? A staple of electronic, hip hop, and various other breaks music was, for a time, largely comprised of limited samples, and it was still great.
Like you said, like it or don't, but anything someone puts some time into should be given a shot, someone will dig it.
Out of all of it, I truly believe it's the effort and character you put into the music that matters. That should be truly how people judge all music, then take crack at whether you enjoy it or not. It seems like the pop music of today is just to sell or impress and make their stuff overrated. You don't feel like it has lost some feel to it? :'<
