I don't hate metal, you patronising flid.
But I don't see why pricks should think that electronic music is any less 'real' than music made with 'traditional' instruments.

A musical instrument is an object which can be used to make music. This means that computers and turntables are just as valid as guitars and drums. I assume you'd rather listen to McFly than, say, The Prodigy then?

i wasn't talking about electronic music
read the damn post again
i'm talking about the shit, repetitive,( example here- house music) tripe that has NO variation, just 'here is a 4/4 beat. now here is a sample of a woman going 'oooh baby yeah' autotuned to fuck, drop that in every four bars. now here is a short piano riff. do that for three hours, and if they stop dancing, throw in this sample of someone hitting a small child with a shoe'

for example, i saw dan le sac the other month and he was playing an instrument, which happened to be am MPC.
i saw a lot of other dj's too, who were blending other people's songs into each other. THAT is where i draw the line between making music, and being a fucking playlist operator.

House is by no means all like that.
Only the chart bollocks is.

But nice to hear a considered, thought through point of view.

DJing is far more than just playing someone else's tunes. It's a fundamentally different performance paradigm to live music, you witless spazwit.
