I need help with this problem I seem to have been having. I no longer seem to be able to listen to and enjoy electronic music. What can I do to solve this? Please do not recommend music to me as that does not solve the root of the issue, which is other people ruining it for me.
To clarify, it seems I cannot go anywhere on the internet without hearing or hearing about electronic music or IDM. It is mainstream now and there is no redeeming value is that respect - might as well be watching football. What is strange about this is the juxtapositioning of what seems to be the general consensus of everyone who uses these kinds of forums - that it is indeed still underground, and seems to be this strange source of pride for many, as if it is some kind of social treasure to be cherished and expounded upon endlessly in shallow chit-chat. This in and of itself is enough to sabotage anyone's interest who see music simply as something to be consumed, not a social platform to hoist oneself upon and beg for attention. But unfortunately that is merely the tip of the iceberg. Kill off all the scum at the top and what you have underneath is a shitbag industry filled with hand-me-down label signings, daddy's record label putting out endless streams of shit, buying followers on soundcloud, and "music journalists" getting paid to say music that sucks, doesnt

Surely this is a silly dupe. It stinks of trying too hard.
But, if you are for real, djharcode, i enjoy listening to Autechre and enjoy following football. I hope that really gets to you and you have trouble sleeping tonight!

If it's a dupe, maybe i shouldn't bother with what is said as it's not serious and me engaging would be silly of me. If the person is serious and has been with all the recent posts (which i doubt) then it's also no point me getting worried other his or her thoughts. You on the other hand, really worry me. Is everything ok at home?

You are mentally ill dude. Nihilism and a lost of values often leads to suicide.

You should probably have some cake, then. I made-up some earlier.

If you think that elitism or a sense of secrecy is a redeeming factor in anything, then perhaps you should pretend you're a spy. Otherwise, what you like should be what you like, because it appeals to you. Building your character off of elitism is no different than academia scum who try to spread their deceptive words to look down upon people who don't believe what they see as truth.
Apple was underground and good, but become pop culture. It doesn't change the fact that their industrial design and Logic are BOSS. And just because the ugly girl at Starbucks now thinks Squarepusher is cool, it doesn't take away from the fact that the dude can still rock like no other. Daft Punk's jillion dollar success doesn't take away from Around The World.
So I think the real solution here is to plug some mdma, cuz that shit hits so hard and you will love what you thought you hated. And then you can listen to Richard D James Album on loop whilst peaking on mdma and shrooms, and you will remember why you started listening to this shit in the first place. Also, I think it's a good idea to trim nose hairs, because you cannot focus properly on priorities when your nose is itchy as fuck.
Godspeed.

Hello peace.
Quite the contrary. What you have cherry picked out of my statement is exactly what it that others do, which has caused my inability to enjoy techno. I then contrast thid with the fact that due to the internet, the concept of undeground is just that, a concept, which can easily expose someones true intentions, such as begging for attention or looking trendy.
Apples design is not boss at all, they are money stealers. If this were not the case, they would not have made 6 iphones with incrementally "new" features on each iteration. I suggest you refresh your world view from 10 years ago.
