I’ve never really liked most mainstream music.
You know, the kind that’s annoying at first listen and also offensive in that it’s constantly pushed as if it was interesting and new but it’s actually lacking in substance and a watered down version of something old (something good) … You know, that song/band/genre that doesn’t seem to go away for half of the year until some other annoying crap takes its place. You know, kids’ music …
But I’ve noticed a difference. When I was younger, there there were specific things I could point to to explain why I didn’t like a song/band/genre—e.g. Blink 182 are a bunch of wankers who need music videos and tattoos to make their music seem edgy because really they are not “punk”. But nowadays, I’m just speechless when I hear some of the shite they call music … I don’t know if it’s because I’m older—I’ve reached “that” age—or just because the world has gotten weird.
In any case, to the kids making EDM:
