Now that I'm at university, I feel old. All the kids (which is what they are) listen to bands like The Klaxons and My Chemical Romance. What the fuck is "New Rave?" I have no idea, but these kids love all this shit. I played one of my housemates some Aphex Twin, he was all: "Yeah, yeah. Not very interesting." Does nobody under 25 listen to electronic music or dance music in the UK anymore? Is it dead??? |

i do and im a sprightly 23. its not dead its just not hitting the right notes with people any more. seems to me that a lot of people want music that is upfront with its message and musicianship, hence the popularity of bands like my chemical romance. groups like the klaxons, CSS, hot chip etc are still electronic in nature but still have clear messages and a 'band sensibility'. i get the impression im talking out of my arse sorry. |

although ive never been a uni student so i cant comment on them. the majority seem severely socially underdeveloped from what ive seen of my girlfriends mates. |

I had a good laugh recently when I saw KT Tunstall labeled as "alternative". |

i am a young 19 year old child-boy and i like electronic music. however, i honestly cannot find anybody else at university who does. there are a few drum 'n' bass heads, I suppose, but they ONLY seem to like drum and bass, or a bit of trance here and there. young child-boys do seem to prefer rockish music. |

its this new wave of 'band' music that seems to like somewhere between indie-rock and emo whatever things.. it annoys me as people are like this is cool this is hip, but its not. its just disposable for the moment music, that ultimately will not stand the test of time..,.. uh, its not comparable to groundbreaking eras of past. its nothing special. i was digging through some old vinyl the other day and found a track by XTC, and i thought hey, this sounds like all that shit today, except i have more respect for a band doing something 20 years ago what is 'hip' now. thats clever i thought. it annoys me. and people go to 'indie' clubs. mention warp and people will say maximo park. |

I'm at school right now and I've just scratched the aphex symbol into the desk. It will forever remain a nonsensical mystery. |

With todays technology, can we develop a hand big enough to slap every face that gives a 'i know all about music because i liked arctic monkeys before they got famous' smirk? |

im still living in the 80s. been playing the style council of all things |
||||||||
|
|

|

dont you think the 80s is quickly becoming the new 70s or 60s? |
||||||||
|

the 80's officially stopped being uncool on 1/1/2000 |

Indie is the new soft rock. The kids listening to NME bands like The Klaxons aren't the ones that would've been listening to The Smiths 20 years ago, they're the ones that would've been listening to Marillion or T'Pau or something. It's totally mainstream and boring, but the fans still seem to think it has some sort of rebellious edge. |

Kind of like Tool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You think the new Tool is "mainstream and boring, and that fans just think they have some sort of rebellious edge".....pfft. I can see you being an electronic guy, but Tool have always challanged themselves and thier fans, and not since teh song "sober" could they be any less mainstream. |

Yeah, see, when people try to talk to me about indie bands, I just think of the underground rock scene of the 80's, which they wouldn't touch - which is odd to me, because bands like the smiths, the cure, the jesus and mary chain, etc, did it first (and better, arguably) back in the day... i'm a university student, and if you ask me, kids have always been 'stupid'. people want pop music, something with a disposably catchy tune. that's how it's always been. the kids that pretend to listen to 'smarter' music aren't really a notch above everybody else - i mean, in 9th grade, i thought i knew music better than everybody else because I listened to nine inch nails, then it was aphex twin, and etc. if someone tells you they 'knew about' x 'before they were famous' just give them a big "WOW!". let them know how much of a difference they've made. i listen to music i enjoy, yeah, which does include a lot of top 40 bullshit, but i only share tunes, not half-baked opinions and self-evaluations. for the record, i listened to my chemical romance before anybody heard of them, but i don't tell people that - i tell them, their first album is good. the other two are not. |

chevy chase is a mean man. watch 'nothing but trouble.' i think the chemical brothers are all right. not 'album artists,' i suspect. |

theres no proper IDM-nuts up here, but i have had a few people come up to me when i have been wearing my aphex shirt. at least they know some IDM. theres loads of DnB freaks here. thankfully there arent many fucking emos. |
||||||||

MCR? Well I like I'm Not Ok and Helena, but the rest is just "HAHAHAHAHA!" Mind, I like quite a lot of the new alternative/indie stuff, Bloc Party are great. but still, no-one will ever beat Talking Heads. |

Everyone thinks that dance = crappy chart-hitting trance and shite. All that danish "looo leee I love you and I need you in my heart/You're my ecstacy/Want you 24/7" shite. They would have never hav guessed that brain blowing IDMv2 existed. |

I was listening to a fruityloops loop of one bar of music which contains one note every four steps at 10bpm. The note is on a Wasp synth with the pitch oscillator set at maximum level and minimum speed. So every note is different in a "random" kinda way. So every few seconds the synth goes "bleep" at a different pitch. Then I added a delay a 80bpm and two reverbs turned up full on all settings. The reverb and delay built a nice big sissonant cloud of musi-fog I could feel wash over as I played Manic Miner for the millionth time. |

Gwely: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_body_music bout the only thing i like out of these indie band bands is Phantom Planet. the s/t record (after Jason Schwartzman left) was damn good. My Chemical Romance - no comment (and what i mean by that is, they can go fistfuck their mothers). terrible band. terrible fans. maybe electronic was just too obviously the next step, so of course no one took it. |
||||||||
|
|

|
lol |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

well if you played venetian snares to me, i would orobably also ask you to play some good electro, drum'n'bass or whatever instead. |
||||||||
|

i don't think i have a better musical knowledge/taste (if there is anything as "better taste") than other people. or at least i refrain that thought now; i had it for some time but i realized that i was often wrong and that knowing a few relatively "obscure" bands/artists didn't make me a music expert in any way. for my birthday, friends offered me a Chet Baker cd and an Aphex Twin one. the latest person i talked about music to at university listened to The Roots, Eels, Radiohead... another person i know at university seems to know a lot more bands than i do (he's also in a doom metal band). etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have excellent musical taste and vision of perfect, clean, electro beauty. Everybody else just falls into sheep-like stereotypes like "Indie Kid", "Metalhead" or "IDM Nerd" |
