theres so many different types of electronic dance music, you cant just generalise them all like that.

I really can. All electronic dance is awful. Hard house, trance, rave etc... it goes on and on. It's all tripe. Dead, soulless tripe.
But again, this isnt about my opinion on dance music

But your opinion of electronic music is going to colour your opinion of DJing innit!

Some people go to cattle markets like Coppers to pick up a classy boird and so music is secondary to the quest of finding some tail, failing and weeping while you drunkenly have a **** in your parents bathroom when you get home.

Some people go to clubs like the Twisted Pepper with the primary purpose of hearing what dead, souless tripe the DJ decides to play.

Different scenarios being served by different DJs for different clientele. Broad generalisations about DJs are pretty absurd.

What really matters is this weekend i'll make the equivalent of 40 hours minimum wage work from djing for a total of 6 hours over 2 nights. Cushty

Maybe if you did more work in school you'd have a better job.

This thread is pretty much summed up here:

Seriously though.. there are as many types of DJs as there are types of bands.

And as for beatmatching - trying doing it with records that have a live drummer

What is your opinion of electronic music that does not involve dance music or beats?

DJ's and artists exist, and have existed for decades, that play or perform electronic music without the requirement for you to dance to it.

When it is done well, with musical skill, it is far from soulless, well its far from soulless for the hundreds of thousands of people who listen and enjoy that form of music around the world anyways...

Somewhere in between.

Good DJs have skill and creativity but putting them on par with somebody that actually creates music...no.

Don't mix up a DJ with a turntabilist.

Anyone can learn to beatmatch and mix in a couple of days. Turntabilism like below takes years, like any musical instrument.

That kind of thing I really like, I really like King tubby too. But when I hear the word DJ, in Ireland at least it means guy who plays chart music in a nightclub. Those people are usually exclusively dickheads that seem to despise good music.

I ahve no idea, but unless it has actaul instruments and lyrics I doubt it. But really, for the last time, this is not about anyone's opinion, least of all mine, of dance music.

I'd bet if you were around in the 60's you'd be referring to the The Beatles as 'devil music'

Because I like real instruments and lyrics and songs with meaning?
Or is it because you're one of these arseholes who has his speakers thumping at 4.30am of a wednesday morning while you and your friends are pilled out?
You'll find that will get on the tits of many people of all ages.

Not everyone who likes dance music has to listen to it really loud, or at 4am.
You sound like you are living in one room of your house, peeping out of the curtains.
That's a type of person does that, blame them not the music.

none of the above, i simply stated that you sound like my 60 year old neighbour, which you do. i like all music myself, and electronic is just one of those styles.
i'm 29 years of age btw, i don't be awake at 4.30am, much less pounding out "rave" with my mates, while pilled out of it.
i find it laughable however, how someone with absolutely no knowledge on a given subject, still seems to make their voice heard, when it's blatantly clear to everyone around them, they haven't a clue what they're talking about.

Funny, cause I find it laughable that someone would give out to me for making generalisations about something I know nothing about while making presumptions on my personality from the fact I dont like dance music.

The OP is failing big time here.

what do you mean by real instruments? what's the difference between a piano, a guitar, and a synth?
