TryJohnTry: the interesting thing about electronic music is that its so synthetic but at the same time it is music in its purest form, being that there is no band to get destracted by or relate to, no singer or words to relate to, no person to see making it, only sound and what emotion it invokes in you
TryJohnTry: no see to relate to TryJohnTry: oops no scene to relate to TryJohnTry: every other style of music is wrapped up in image, even if its just a punk image its still image, or meaning or words or relating to each other or how much you jump around and go crazy on stage, electronic music has nothing to fall back on but sound
TryJohnTry: and i still love organic music dont get me wrong
TryJohnTry: i just dont feel anyone could ever truely say they hate electronic music as a whole and still be a fan of music, cause otherwise they are simply a fan of being entertained by musicians who dance and look pretty

TryJohnTry: its like, if you had this song on a cd you liked alot, and you found out the drums were all programmed and you never knew this before, you would like it less because of that. when really there is no logic behind that cause it still sounds the same as when you loved it before. was it not the sound you loved before?

TryJohnTry: i think most people exclude electronic music cause they simply dont understand how it was made, they are scared for some reason that they are listening to a creation from the machine itself and not a person
TryJohnTry: my whole point was that electronic music is music in its purest form, live music and organic music have other factors that make people like them other than the music they are creating, people like it cause of how the band looks and how they relate to everything going on, we picture someone hitting things and strumming things when we listen to the cd, electronic music doesnt have anything else
TryJohnTry: organic music will always have other appeal to it, we like how or singers look, we like how kurt cobain looked and dressed and broke things, that had nothing to do with the music

i dont care how people look, when i listen to a song i never imagine people playing it. and besides, all kinds of music has a music video, and once you see that you have to think about the video regardless of what u thought when listening to the 'pure' song.
also, in my opinion, 'pure 'electronic music is totally lyricless...hearing someones voice makes me think it is not machine made...machine made is good!

that was my point exactly. as soon as vocals are introduced and as soon as it becomes some sort of performance it loses some of that purity. but electronic music in the state of being on a cd is music in its purest form. more so than organic music on a cd because we have preconceptions of how we should emotionally react to all the sounds we hear in organic music. electronic music if done right uses sounds we've never heard and therefor we have no idea how to react, we just do. for instance autechre in my mind is the best example of this. the sounds are brilliant and unearthly and we have no preconceptions of how to react to them other than what the artist intended.
